Transfer from Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2007 on new PC

[pmorrison1985]

Hi,

I want to transfer my emails and account settings from my old PC to a
new
one running Outlook 2007. If I do the File -> Export will it transfer
the
account settings for my emails as well as the emails, or will I have
to add
these settings on the new version manually?

Cheers,

Paul

No need to export. Your calendar data, as well as messages, tasks, notes,
contacts, etc. are stored in a file with a .PST extension. Look here for
all the information you need on backup and restoration of Outlook data:

Your account settings will not be exported. I'd just manually recreate the
accounts.
