I'm currently using Microsoft Outlook and would like to transfer my email boxes, personal folders, signatures, rules and alerts, forms, etc. to a new computer. Where will I find these files?

Read everything before you start!

1. "your user name" is your Windows User name without the quotes.
2. If you can't see some of the folders, they are probably hidden. Click on My Computer, Click on C: drive, in the main menu click on Tools, click on Folder Options, click on View, click on option Show Hidden Files and Folders.
3. You may not have all of the files shown and they may not be exactly as shown.
4. These instructions may not work for all Windows operating systems.
