Oulook, Exporting, Importing and 64 and 32 Bit

[Tom461]

Are there known issues with exporting to a backup.pst file on a 64-bit
computer and importing that file into a 32-bit computer.

The issues being you will lose any settings from the original which is the
same for any export/import
And you dont Export to create a backup
Its immaterial whether 32 or 64 bit is involved.
Generally you copy the pst, with Outlook closed, thenn paste to a location
on the other PC, eg Documents Folder, then open that pst within Outlook.
To a certain extent it depends what you are trying to achieve

I am trying to move about 300 emails from a computer used during two weeks in
July over to a computer with all the other emails before and after. So I
don't want to overwrite the great bulk of emails with just two weeks worth.
That's why I thought an import/export was the way to go, not a copy paste.
Correct?

In a case like that, import should be ok, but it could prevent those
messages from being autoarchived. Or you could copy the past - rename it
july2009 and open it using file, open, outlook data file then move the items
to the old pst.
