Move an Outlook instance

Copper Contributor

I have a computer (A) with around 50 email accounts in Outlook Desktop.

 

Is it in anyway possible to move that to a new computer?

 

Or, do I have to add one email account at a time......

So far I know, it is possible to move your Outlook data, including your email accounts, from one computer to another.

One way to do this is by exporting your mailbox data to a PST file on computer A and then importing it on computer B. Here’s how you can do it:

  1. On computer A, open Outlook and click on the File tab.
  2. Click on Open & Export and then select Import/Export.
  3. In the Import and Export Wizard, select Export to a file and click Next.
  4. Select Outlook Data File (.pst) and click Next.
  5. Select the mailbox that you want to export and make sure that the Include subfolders checkbox is selected. Click Next.
  6. Click on Browse to select a location to save the PST file and enter a name for the file. Click OK.
  7. Click on Finish to start the export process.

Once the export process is complete, you can copy the PST file to computer B and then import it into Outlook.

Here’s how you can do it:

  1. On computer B, open Outlook and click on the File tab.
  2. Click on Open & Export and then select Import/Export.
  3. In the Import and Export Wizard, select Import from another program or file and click Next.
  4. Select Outlook Data File (.pst) and click Next.
  5. Click on Browse to select the PST file that you copied from computer A and then select one of the options for handling duplicates. Click Next.
  6. Select the mailbox that you want to import the data into and click Finish.

This should import all your email accounts, along with other mailbox data such as emails, contacts, calendar events, etc., from computer A to computer B.
