PST files are only usable by an installed version of Outlook. Without
Outlook installed, copying a PST file to a computer is a waste of time as
it is unreadable by any program other than *Outlook* and only Outlook.
Your friend is mistaken.

Hello

A freind told me that if i copied the Outlook.pst and mailbox.pst from my
old computer , I could use these on my new computer and retain my old
adresses / messages

I have done a search on my new computer for the .pst in Outlook Express6
, but i cannot find any .pst files , so i cannot replace them with my old
versions

Can you help please ??

thanks
