[BC] Re: Similar Outlook question

[Steve Griesbach]

What I have always done is to grab the PST file off the old machine, usually 
in the C:\documents and settings\username\local settings\application 
data\microsoft\outlook folder (you may have to unhide hidden folders).  Move 
that to a folder you create on the new machine.  Then in Outlook you can go 
to file | import and export.  It will walk you through step by set to import 
your wife's e-mail into the new PST file that was created by Outlook on the 
new computer.  There is one step where you have to go find the file that you 
want to import from, so create a folder on the C drive so you can easily 
find the file again.
