hello all,
i've got all my emails, contacts, calendar, etc on my xp OS laptop outlook
2007. I want to transfer it all to my vista OS desktop 2007. I have setup a
network & all is fine. Is there an easy wizard to do this?

Don't connect to the pst-file over a networkshare unless you want to corrupt
your pst-file. Where do you get stuck with copying the file "just won't let
me" is much to vague to offer assistance on.
