Instructions

•      Launch Outlook on your old computer. Wait for it to download all your incoming emails. Then turn off the check mail or close your Internet connection. The Check mail setup option is in the Tools, Options, Mail Setup. Now open Outlook Express and disable checking for mail in this program also.
•       Now launch Outlook on your new computer. Wait for the email to be checked and then disable checking email as you did in the last step.
•       Migrate each account from your Outlook on the old computer to Outlook Express on the old computer. All your email accounts will then be in Outlook Express on the old computer. Migrate the personal folder files, rules and safe/blocked sender list for each account. After you have migrated the account out of Outlook, import them into Outlook Express. This is still on the old computer. You can migrate only one account at a time.
•       Go to Tools, then Options, and select Mail in Outlook Express. Select the email account that you want to shift to the new computer. You will have to repeat this process for each email account because there is a limitation of one account at a time in Outlook Express.

•       Follow the procedure in the reverse order to import these accounts into the new computer.
