Default Export Account Settings in Outlook 2007

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.

Default Export Account Settings in Outlook 2007

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.

Default Export Account Settings in Outlook 2007

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.

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.

Default Export Account Settings in Outlook 2007

Thanks Roady,
It might be quicker to manually re-do the settings, IF you only have a
single e-mail account in Outlook. I have 8 separate accounts so it's much
quicker to use some sort of migration tool than to manually enter the
settings for all 8 accounts! All the accounts are POP3/IMAP accounts, not
Exchange Accounts. Hence using ABF Outlook Backup in the past. But
as I mentioned that isn't an option this time.

It seems a shame that there isn't an easy way of exporting your account
settings, especially since both Outlook Express and Windows Mail (on Vista)
have that option. It seems a little backward to not have that facility
avaliable in Outlook. I'm sure I'm not the first person who has need to
transfer settings from one system to another!!! Anyway I'll give the Windows
Easy Transfer Tool a go and see if that will surfice.

Thanks again,

Jonathan R. Portwood.

Or lose a few mail accounts ;-) I personally prefer multiple aliases on a
single mailbox than having multiple mailboxes.
It's indeed a shame that there isn't such a tool but so far I have yet to
come across a tool that does it that reliably that I will actually trust my
transferred configuration afterwards. Not having an "too old" original
installation and a very similar target installation will increase the
reliability though. Yours sounds like it's worth a shot but plan some
manually recovery time either way ;-)
