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.
Transferring your Internet shortcuts
You can export and import your old Netscape Navigator
bookmarks or Microsoft Internet Explorer favorites. For more
information, see your Internet browser program's online help.

Chapter 5: Maintaining Your Computer
If your current Internet service provider (ISP) software
came pre-installed on your new computer, run that
setup program. If it asks to set up a new account or an
existing one, choose to set up an existing account.
If your current ISP software is not pre-installed on your
new computer, locate the original Internet setup
program 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 computer.
If you use MSN as your ISP, or if you know your ISP
settings, use the Windows Internet Connection Wizard.
Click Start, All Programs, Accessories,
Communications, then click New Connection Wizard.
The New Connection wizard opens.
Configure your Internet settings by following the
on-screen instructions.
