I need to find that .pst file. I googled it last night and followed the steps but when I got to the browse part, I got lost and all it said was back up outlook.pst or something like that. Lol. I will try it again, following your steps below that is similar to what I found on google. I'm glad though my email went through, though. I thought the jaws-users family divorced me, lol. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of david Sent: Saturday, June 21, 2014 4:38 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] transfering outlook emails, folders the whole shabang from one comp to another hello; I believe you can move the PSTFile which is found in my documents, outlook files folder. this will move your folders and messages, not any rules/filter, the other way I suppose is, do a outlook backup on the old comp, then move the backup.pst to the new computer, and import to outlook 2013.
