Transferring Internet settings
You can use different methods to transfer your Internet account from your old
computer to your new one.

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.

Transferring your e-mail and address book

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.
