Do NOT use the import/export function to move Outlook data from one Outlook
to another.
Why not?

Importing an entire PST may well corrupt your profile and may create a ghost
PST that you can't close. Importing PST's will lose:
1. Custom Forms
2. Custom Views
3. Connections between contacts and activities
4. Received dates on mail
5. Birthdays and anniversaries in calendar
6. Journal connections
7. Distribution Lists

Opening a PST file will preserve all of these. That is why we do not advise
people to import a native file into Outlook.

Well Importing is not the way to deal with native OL data
Within OL, File>Open>Data File......browse to location (NB a cd is no good,
it needs to be located on the HD)
