MS Outlook Calendar

LondonDiva

Good morning guys

I was wondering if anyone could help.

I’m trying to copy / transfer the contents of an Outlook calendar to another account as I’ve changed email addresses and will want access to the last 3 years of diary info!

I’ve managed to copy and transfer the contacts using the MS help function, but don’t know if it’s possible. I definatley will not have access to the old account after mid August.

Please can you advise?

Thanks in advance

If you're doing this on the same PC with the same user account then it's not necessary to do all this. You can have multiple email accounts within the same Outlook profile.

Unfortunately, not the same account - moving posts & orgs.

Some Questions.

Do you have both calendars setup at the moment within outlook?

Which version of outlook are you using?

Who are you moving your account from and to?

Cheers

I don't have Outlook in front of me and I haven't done it in a while. These are the basic steps and they might differ for different versions of Outlook.

You open the "old" PST file with the new Outlook, make all folders visible (don't remember exactly where to find it in Outlook). Then you just drag'n'drop the old folder "calendar" to the parent folder of the "new" calendar. If the new calender gets replaced by the old one everything should be fine. If you have a folder "calendar" and "calender1" then you need to change somewhere in your settings that Outlook should use "calendar1" . As I said above, I haven't done it in a while.

I think there is an easier way too. AFAIR you can also import from a PST file in Outlook and you'll be asked whether it should replace the existing folders...

The calendar is saved in the PST file as well as the e-mails (and the contacts I think).
