I have Outlook 2003 on my old XP machine, and its enormous .pst file has emails going back to 2008. This winter, I will set up Outlook on my current Win 10 Pro 64-bit machine with MS 365 Family and then migrate the old Outlook 2003 to the new MS 365 Outlook. But how should I plan that?
Ideally, how would I (a) initially set up Outlook in my MS 365 on Win 10 (not yet set up) and (b) move that old Outlook on XP (with its enormous .pst) to the MS 365 on Win 10 so that I end up with a consolidated Inbox and Sent on the Outlook MS 365 that has all my old emails but continues to connect for new emails?
My principal email accounts are [myname]@verizon.net (which has been part of aol email for some years) and [myname]@[wife’s-business-domain].com which is hosted by Network Solutions. On the XP machine, I have both set to POP3 with “Leave copy of message on server” checked.
FYI – for a few months, I’ve had the XP machine turned off and been monitoring emails on my two accounts by browser only on the Win 10 machine. I’ve also moved many of my old emails on verizon.net into aol/verizon.net’s own “Archives”, so they aren’t “there” in aol/verizon.net’s own “Inbox” any more.
Thanks for your links.
