Personally I avoid using such tools to do a cross computer restore of my
settings because of the amount of dependencies You're usually much faster
doing the settings manually than fixing the issues that come with them.
Configuring it is only a matter of minutes. If the computer is really
similar you can use the Windows Easy Transfer tool of Windows Vista.

Hi Roady,
Can you suggest a third party tool for saving Outlook 2007 Account
Settings. I'm about to transfer everything to a new laptop and would
really appreciate NOT having to enter all my Account Settings manually
into Outlook 2007 on the new computer!
I'm currently running MS Outlook 2007 SP1 with Business Contact Manager,
on Vista Business Edition (no SP1 yet).
The new system will be pretty much exactly the same, except that it'll
have Vista Business Edition SP1 installed.
In the past I've used a program called 'ABF Outlook Backup' from ABF
Software www.abf-soft.com Unfortunately, according to the ABF-Soft
website, the current version of ABF Outlook Backup isn't compatible with
MS Outlook 2007. :-(
Any other suggestions would be most welcome, ASAP. I'm needing to do the
transfer in the 1st week of April, so time is getting short!
Thanks in advance,
Jonathan R. Portwood.

Reinstalling Office won't delete any configuration settings or data.
To answer your questions;
1) You can't specifically only save your Outlook account settings without
a 3rd party tool
2) There is indeed no Save My Settings Wizard anymore
3) When you backup the pst-file; yes. When you export the pst-file; no.

Hello,
I'm re-installing Office Enterprise 2007, how can I export my account
setting in Outlook?
I know that exporting the PST file is not enough, and I don't have "Save
My
Settings Wizard" under Office Tools (was that only for Office 2003?).
Another question: are the rules also exported when I backup the PST
file?
Thanks,
Roee.
