Moving Email from one computer to another

[Guest]

I have Outlook 07 on two computers.
On one computer I have all my business emails sorted into folders according
to contract name. How do I move these emails to the other computer and have
them still be sorted by folder?

I read somewhere about copying over the pst file. Does that move everything
as is and it shows up there?

Copying the PST file sounds like the right solution.

Do I need to do anything other than copy it over
Any import process or such?

Don't import it! Use File | Open to access it then copy what you need to the
other machine. Using table-based views helps.

If it is imported instead does that mean it will not keep it in the right
folders?

Import is meant to retain folders and usually does. The problem with import
is that it has been proven to cause issues so we usually don't recommend it.

Make sure that Outlook is closed on the original computer before you
copy the PST file.
