Thanks Diane. Yes, it's POP3. Do you mean 'add' it to the profile (which has never been opened or used on the new machine) or should I first delete that default profile? Will I get the message about 'the PST having been created in a newer version'? Sorry, I haven't got either machine in front...

This might sound odd but a friend wants to transfer her mail account from an old W7 laptop running Office 2010 to another W7 laptop running Office 2007. I've installed Outlook 2007 on her newer laptop and now we need to get her old 2010 PST to work on that machine. Advice please.

Thanks Diane - much appreciated :-)

My profile seems to be corrupt. Not disastrously so, just enough to be occasionally annoying. For example, my mail password isn't always remembered. Mail copies aren't saved to my pop3 server, even though the option is checked. Archiving doesn't work either. I'd like to keep my current PST file...

There's plenty of online info about transferring Templates that include macros from one PC to another, but that's not what I want. On computer 'X' my Word 2003 has a whole bunch of embedded (and useful) macros. On computer 'Y' my Word 2003 has a quite different normal.dot that I don't want to...

Thanks Diane. There's no option to 'edit' the profile: do you mean to add a new account alongside the old (presumably with a new name) and then, once the new profile tests out, delete the old?

Hi all. My W7\Outlook 2003 mail system is misbehaving. When I log in it'll ask me for a password 5 or 6 times before it finally accepts my entry and sends\receives messages. (The mail server website has no such idiosyncrasies and logs me in instantly.) I thought it was an ISP mail server...

Thanks ajmich. The thing that was puzzling us most was where the sudden influx of unknown auto-complete listings had come from. Turned out it was because I'd set up an 'Out of office' message for him while he holidayed, and the computer was adding all the addresses to which it was replying...

I hope the title makes sense. What happened was this: A friend asked me how to delete email addresses in Outlook 2003. I replied that it was easy, thinking that he just wanted to remove addresses from his address book or Contacts page. But when he showed me HOW he was...

Re: Outlook 2002 - How to upgrade to 2003 and convert PST from ANSI to Unicode Thanks Diane - a very informative answer :-) I'm just about ready to tackle my friend's problem. Here's another oddity about the board's format. I was emailed a notification that you'd replied to my...

Re: Outlook 2002 - How to upgrade to 2003 and convert PST from ANSI to Unicode Actually, I've used Firefox to post on several hundred boards over the years and never ran across this particular problem. But I've just tried your suggestion and modified the input method from Advanced to Medium...

Re: Outlook 2002 - How to upgrade to 2003 and convert PST from ANSI to Unicode Diane, thanks for your response. One more query - if it's in your area. I'm new to this site. My browser of choice is Firefox. But with Firefox, the posting area doesn't respond properly. Like, I can't...

This seems to be an issue that concerns many users.It also seems to be hard to get accurate (and simple) advice on the best way to do it.Hopefully, I've come to the right place now :-)A friend has a working instalation of Outlook 2002.Her PST has grown to be 1.7G.I'm aware that if the PST...
