You know, I looked at the import and export in the file menu and the problem is that there is no way defined there to export "account" settings -- you can only import them. Strange. You can export address book or messages, and the import option lists those plus other things including account settings for news and mail. In case anyone is confused, when I say account (using OE's own terminology), I mean the data profile for the "accounts" under the tools menu. You can set it up for mail or news, and the settings include server info and protocols and ports and all that bit-picky stuff... Actually, I see 3 things that need to be imported and exported -- first, the address book, then the messages, then finally the account profiles for news and mail. You can indeed import and export the account settings in the accounts dialog (on the tools menu) so it is possible, but it should really be handled in a centralized place so people don't have to search and scramble their data all over... Hope this clarifies. --le ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ann Byrne" <annakb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <guispeak@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, October 01, 2005 8:58 AM Subject: [guispeak] Re: accounts in outlook express To transfer addresses from the current version of Outlook to another computer, first go to files, export, and export the file to a personal file (.pst). Transport that files on whatever medium to the other computer and import it from there. I have just done this, twice, and it worked like a charm. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:guispeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** guispeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:guispeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** guispeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:guispeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** guispeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:guispeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** guispeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
