how does one copy from the old PST to the new uniocde one?
is it just a matter of dragging the folders over from one to the other?

Thanks!

For the non-default folders, yes. For the default folders, no. The method
has been posted numerous times. See:

Thanks Brian - ai appreciate the time you have given me.
What does it mean exactly default and non-default? are these default/non
default mail folders only?
i see i can copy over the calendar items by changing to list view. but what
about contacts?

Many thanks!

The default folders are the ones Outlook creates automatically: Calendar,
Contacts, Deleted Items, Drafts, Inbox, Journal, Junk E-mail (for some
versions of Outlook), Notes, Outbox, Sent Items, and Tasks. The non-default
ones are those you created yourself.

i see i can copy over the calendar items by changing to list view.
but what about contacts?

In Contacts, just use CTRL-A, as in most folders. Calendar is the only one
for which you may need to change the view.

Thanks Brian - it took me a while, but as you say - not too difficult.

Thanks for all the help!
