I have emails stored in Outlook that are no longer on the server. If I am moving to another PC with Outlook, how can I copy those old emails and transfer them to the new system?

transfer the .pst file to your new computer, it will import all emails from the old pc.

To move your Outlook data (e-mail, contacts, calendar, etc), follow these steps:



1. In Outlook, right-click the Outlook Today's [Personal Folders] item in the Folder List pane and choose Properties for "Personal Folders".

2. In the Personal Folder Properties window, click the Advanced button. Right-click inside the Path field and choose Copy.

3. Open the Start menu, point to Programs (or All Programs), point to Accessories, and click on Notepad.

4. In Notepad, open the Edit menu and choose Paste to paste the folder path into the Notepad window.

5. The very end of the path should contain the folder name and the extension .pst. Delete the end of the path until the last character is a backslash ( \ ) character. See figures 2a and 2b below:

6. Press Control-A to select the entire modified path and press Control-C to copy it to the clipboard.

7. Open the Start menu again and choose Run... Press Control-V to paste the path into the Run field. Click OK.

8. Windows will open the folder containing Outlook's data files. Copy all of these files to your new computer.

I hope I understand your question right :) You should be able to go into the one you want to save and get a flash drive (from walmart or staples) and save all the emails to it. Go to the other PC and open up the emails and copy them to your inbox folders.
