provided by your local ISP, or contact your
ISP to see if they have an updated version
of their software, and install it on your new
notebook.

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 notebook’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 notebook to retrieve the e-mail messages.
