HOWTO Export e-mail accounts from Outlook 2003

[Rover]

Hi,

I have to move my Outlook 2003 installation to another machine. I can take
my pst file across but I cannot export the e-mail accounts (I am not using
Exchange, just Internet Mail).

Does any know how to transfer the e-mail accounts across without manually
re-entering them?

Thanks.

if Outlook 2003 is anything like Outlook 2002, go to Start-All
programs-Microsoft Office Tools and click on the "Save My settings Wizard"

Thanks. Unfortunately with all the bells-and-whistles added to Outlook 2003,
Microsoft has somehow forgotten that people do want to archive their e-mail
account for save keeping or for migration purpose.

So far I cannot find out how and I would like to hear the rationale (if any
Microsoft people or MVP monitoring this) behind dropping this feature.

Seems to have gone two steps forwards and three steps back!

Sorry I couldn't help - I don't have Outlook 2003.........

I had the same challenge and copying everything in the folder "c:/Documents
and Settings/username/Local Settings/Application Data/Microsoft/Outlook"
(where username is your logon User Name) to the same folder on the new
machine worked. It duplicated everything on the old system.

Not a good idea. Never overwrite a PST file. Copy it. Configure the other
installation to use it.
