Default How to Move Email, Folders, Addresses to New Computer

If you were using OL you should have been using Contacts, which is a folder
within your pst.
The windows address book, wab, is I believe used by Outlook Express, a
completely different App.
I 'believe' you can simply copy the wab to your new PC, then within OL
import addresses.

I just built a new computer and upgraded to Outlook 2002 from 2000.
Is there a way to get my old emails and folders into the new Outlook
on the new computer? I have the same question for the address book.

Thanks, but my files on the old computer are *.dbx. There are a bunch
of them, and I know where they are, (myemail in mydocs) and I have
moved them to the new computer, but I don't know what to do with them.
There are no files with a pst extension on my old computer. I was
using OE Express before I switched to Outlook 2000 on old computer, so
maybe that has something to do with this.


Actually, I did finally find a pst file on my old computer, and moved it
over with the help of the above link, and now I have my emails and

folders,
but I'm still trying to figure out how to move the address book. On the

old
computer address book, the export button is grayed out, and I can't find

an
address file. What do I need to do?

Thanks,

Jack
