Default Transfer Email to new PC

I have moved my outlook.pst account to my pc but it is asking for my
password. The password that I use for that account has the same number of
asterisks but it is not accepting the password. I downloaded a program to
find the password and it confirmed the password to be what I expected.

We have two ID's on our old and new computer. The main or first account
transferred great! New PC shows all the old emails and contacts. The second
ID is the one I am having problems with.

Anyone have any ideas on what I should try next?

Don't confuse "PST" with "account". They're not the same thing.

Perhaps if you state your Outlook version, account type, and what exactly
you're doing to transfer the data, both on the source computer and the
destination computer, someone will be able to assist you.

Default Transfer Email to new PC

Thank you Brian for responding. I was so frustrated with trying to transfer
my email and contact history from my old PC to the new one. I had read that
I should move the .pst file to the new pc. I did this and it worked for my
husband's email account but for mine I needed to export and import the files.
I did manage to get it working.

Thanks.
Nicole
