Wizard for moving Outlook settings from one computer to anothe

I realize this post was awhile ago and I have been reading various posts on this subject. I recently purchased a laptop and am going out of the country for 2 weeks for business. I need to have my Outlook with me. My question is, if I copy the .pst file from my PC and paste it into the folder where Outlook resides on my laptop, will this bring over all of my contacts, calendar appt, journal entries and emails along with the folders I have set up on my PC? See this: http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/backupandrestore.htm . Never simply drop a PST into the default location because the risk of damaging the mail profile is quite high. Will this also bring over the "rules" or will I have to edit them first so they don't say "this machine only" or will I have to set up the same rules on the laptop? I appreciate any help as I am leaving in a few days and want to be sure I do this right! Export them with the rules wizard, copy the RWZ file as well, and import them on the new machine. See also: http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.asp . If you have an NK2 file, you might want to take that with you as well. Never use the Windows Easy Transfer wizard. It doesn't handle Outlook well. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
