How do I transfer an existing email account to Microsoft Outlook on my new computer?

I just got a new computer, and I want to be able to use my existing Provide.net email account on it, but I don't know how to add it into Outlook as my address. If you know how, could you please give me a step by step process on how to post it in Microsoft Outlook.


Thanks so much!

You will need to backup your Outlook.pst file from your old computer. It can be found here:





C:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook





Copy that to a CD/DVD/USB Drive, etc.





Then install Outlook on the new computer and start it. Set up the account settings, username, mail servers, etc. and then close Outlook.





Copy the Outlook.pst file form your CD/DVD/USB drive, etc. to the same location on your new computer.





Start Outlook and you should see all your emails, contact, etc. there.





** If you do not see Local Settings, go to Tools menu %26gt; Folder Options %26gt; and under the View tab, check "Show hidden files and folders"
Reply:Call geeks on call and they can basically hack into your computer and do it for you free of no cost and it only takes seconds... just call them and turn off your computer when they tell you too. they will do it for you and they will not put viruses on your computer or anything because you can sew them for everything lost. they dont want to be sewed so they will do there job and be done.
Reply:You can't really "transfer" the settings, you can however set it up again.....you can export all your emails and addresses to an external source, whether its a cd, a flash drive, or you could also export them all to mail to yourself.


You have to setup your account according to your email clients settings...for instance.....if you have an email address that ends in @sbcglobal.net, your pop (incoming) server is pop.mail.sbcglobal.net and your smtp (outgoing) is smtp.mail.sbcglobal.net


You'll also need to enter your userid and password.....once you have your settings for the email, then its just a matter of importing the rest of the info.
