Default How do I copy my adresslist to a different computer

I had a computer with Outlook 2003 and thousands of e-mail adresses.
I just bought a new one with Windows 7 and Outlook 2007.
I really need to transfere my e-mail adresses from the old computer to the
new one.

Default How do I copy my adresslist to a different computer

Email addresses are not separate from the rest of your Outlook data.
Instructions on how to migrate your Outlook data file are posted here daily.
The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:
http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm
http://www.howto-outlook.com/Howto/backupandrestore.htm
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...771141033.aspx

Note that some of the information on the Microsoft page is outdated and
contains errors, particularly when applied to Outlook 2003 or 2007.
Specifically:
1. Ignore any advice to copy your PST file to Outlook's default location to
connect it to your profile. Doing so will often corrupt your Outlook
profile. Copy it
anywhere BUT the default location and then open it within your Outlook
profile.
2. Ignore any advice that tells you to use export or import to transfer
Outlook data. That has never been sound advice, but the process has become
too deeply flawed to be of any use.
