Hi,

The Outlook mailbox is in a file with a .PST extension (if you are not on an Exchange system). The contacts list is included in the PST if you use Outlook 2000 or later, but if not, look for a CONTACTS.WAB file.

Just copy them and change the settings in your outlook profile on your new PC.

I know that is where the PAB is located. PAB is your personal address book. Hope that helped

Also, to create and to export a PST file open outlook, goto file - import export - export to file - Personal Folder File (.pst) - Select the folder you want to save. Then save the file to the location where I said above. After that, goto the file, put it in a locatoin you will be able to access after you made that PST file. Goto outlook, file import export, then import the PST file you created. You will do that with each folder you would like to save. If you need help adding your personal address book back to your new outlook, please respond asking SO i will let you know how!

errrr, wrong location for that PST. It will put it to:
C:\Documents and Settings\your user\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook


Check there first to see if there is a existing PST file

Start Outlook.
Quit Outlook.
Look for Outlook.pst on your hard drive.
Replace it.
Re-input your email account settings.
Bingo.
