1) I am not sure if this "backup method" will work entirely if the account
is using Microsoft Exchange. I can assure it will work with
POP3/IMAP/HTTP/RSS, but I haven't have a chance to try it on a machine
with
Microsoft Exchange. If someone else is able to try it and post the results
it
would be nice;

It won't retain any account passwords. You'll have to redefine them.

2) On the Office 2007 the KEY also carries the RULES, so then you don't
need
to export them. On the previous version of Outlook the rules use to
require
the exporting method;

For Outlook 2007 rules are in a hidden folder in the PST, not in the mail
profile. If you move a PST properly, the rules can move with it. Hoewever,
it's always best to use the Rules Wizard to export the rules and move the
exported RWZ file, importing them again if needed on the target PC.
