Copy a profile to new profile

I had to create a new profile because I no longer needed to have an exchange.
How to I copy all of my information (calendar, contacts & emails with all
folders) to my new profile? When I open the new profile, it only shows my
emails in my "in box", nothing in any folders I had saved, calendar or
contacts. My old profile also suggests email addresses when I type a new
email. The new profile doesn't have any emails saved in its memory.

My suggestion is to connect back to the Exchange server, and then create a
new personal folder file (File -> New -> Outlook Data File). Make a note of
where you create this file.

Manually copy/move your data into this new personal folder file. Then, you
can either use this PST as your default message store in your new profile,
or open the PST and move data into the one you've already created (in case
you've already received mail in that file).

As for the email autocomplete, that's a file located in your user folder, by
default called Outlook.NK2. You can search your PC for this file (be sure
to include hidden/system files) for it, though to be honest I've never had
to replace that file with a new Outlook profile, only a new user profile on
the machine.

The new mail profile doesn't contain an Exchange account and the Exchange
account contained your data. Use the Mail applet to select your old profile
containing the Exchange account and copy the data in the folders there to a
local PST. You can then use that PST in a new mail profile and you'll have
access to all the data.

If you deleted the old profile, you're screwed.
