Default best way to move OL data from Win98 to WinXP

Brad Schmitz wrote:

I'm upgrading 15 machines from Win98se to WinXPsp2. What's the best
way to keep the OL (mso-xp sbe)files, settings, etc. for each
machine? Each machine(person) uses OL a little differently. They
would like to keep all they're settings without losing any data. I
believe 'exporting' only transfers the contacts but I'm not sure.
What about signatures, calendars, email(saved, inbox, etc.)? If I can
copy specific files, from where in Win98 (do I find them) then to
where in WinXP (do I put them) so they will open and work properly?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Making 15 people mad is not a
good thing. Brad


In addition to Ms. Orland's suggestion for backing up the data, the Office
Save My Settings Wizard can save your account data and restore it after the
upgrade.
