locate the original Internet setup program provided by your local ISP, or

and install it on your new computer.

Transferring your e-mail and address book
See your old e-mail program’s online help for information on exporting and
importing e-mail messages and the address book. You can often export all of
your old e-mail messages or address book to recordable media, then import
them into your new computer’s e-mail program. You may also want to consider
printing the old information or using your old computer to send the e-mail
messages to yourself, then using your new computer to retrieve the e-mail
messages.
