and I want to copy my outlook files to the laptop.
Does anyone know how to do that?

In any case unless you paid extra for Office you only have trial version of
Office/Outlook

Not correct. Overwriting Outlook files will simply corrupt the profile
without connecting the data to the profile.
Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:
http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm
http://www.howto-outlook.com/Howto/backupandrestore.htm
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA010771141033.aspx

Note that some of the information on these pages is outdated and no longer
applies to Outlook 2003 or 2007. Specifically:
1. Ignore any advice to copy your PST file to Outlook's default location to
connect it to your profile. Doing so only corrupts your profile. Copy it
anywhere BUT the default location and open it within your Outlook profile.
2. Ignore any advice that tells you to use export or import to transfer
Outlook data. That has never been sound advice, but the process has become
too deeply flawed now to be of any use whatsoever.

If outlook hasnt been configured there will be such path, if such a path
exists overwriting an existing pst will likely result in a corrupt pst and

Sometimes correct, but you couldn't prove it by me. I've done that
scores of times and have never had a problem.

Then you've been extremely lucky.....

Might be. That's how I used to keep my desktop and my notebook
synched. I haven't tried it since I switched to Outlook 2007 on the
desktop.

Now when I use the notebook for mail, I have it configured to leave
messages on the server. The desktop deletes from the server when it
collects mail.
