Hi,

I need help in transering my outlook file (I presume this
is the .PST file) from my laptop to the PC. Can I do
File->Import & Export ->and then give the path to
the .PST file in the laptop?

Thanks!
 
No, just copy it when Outlook is closed to your laptop and the connect to it
by File-> Open-> Outlook Data File...

Make a briefcase folder on the laptop, connect your laptop to your PC via a
Network cable, drag the .PST file into this briefcase folder.
Use the briefcase .PST file for your laptop and sync the briefcase each time
you connect.

Warning: Do not open Outlook on your PC or laptop until the briefcase is
sync'd.
Read-up about Briefcase regarding this warning first.

To synchronize files on connected computers using Briefcase

1.. While the computers are connected, open Briefcase on your portable
computer and copy the appropriate files from your main computer.
2.. Work on the files on your portable computer.
3.. When you have finished working on the files, connect the two computers
if they were disconnected, open Briefcase on your portable computer, and
then do one of the following:
a.. To update all the files, on the Briefcase menu, click Update All.
b.. To update only some of the files, select the files you want to
update, and then on the Briefcase menu, click Update Selection.
Notes

a.. When you are using Briefcase to copy files from your main computer to
your portable computer, the two computers must be connected, either over a
network or by a direct cable connection.
b.. While you are working on your files, the two computers do not need to
be connected.
