It is improper to use export/import to transer data from one Outlook to
another. Exporting and importing always lose data and importing a PST has a
history of corrupting mail profiles. If you want to transfer a PST, just
close Outlook and copy the existing PST to the TravelDrive, move the
TravelDrive from one PC to the other, then copy the PST to the hard drive of
the second PC. Put it in any folder that does NOT already contain a PST.
Then either use the Mail applet in Control Panel to add the PST to the
existing mail profile or use Outlook itself to add it (File>Open>Outlook
Data File). After that, you can either use it as it is (as a second folder
set), move or copy the data in it to the default folders (closing the added
PST afterward) or make the added PST the delivery location (i.e., the added
PST becomes your default folder set). Any of these will preserve all the
data in the original PST.
Brian - thanks so much for your interest. Just trying to get back to this
site took more time than I care to admit. The "Response e-mail alert
link"
didn't work. I'm mentioning this to give you a clue to my inexperience
You may find it a better experience if you access these groups with a real
newsreader instead of the buggy web interface.

I was trying to transfer all my folders in the Mail section of Outlook
(Personal Folders under "All Mail Folders). I went to File,
Import/Export,
Export to a File or Folder, Browsed to Travel Drive F:\, Outlook
The Mail view of the Navigation Pane doesn't show all your folders, only
those that contact mail items. If you want to see them all, use the Folder
List view.
