I'm setting up a machine for a friend he has Outlook.PST and
Archive.PST on the disk. (total of 1.5 GB. I know about size. I'll
teach him after we move in.)

Do I export the files or do I copy the PST files directly and point to
them?

FWIW, it's all XP/Home and Outlook 2003.

I've done a bunch of googling and reading of Usenet archives and I'm
amazed how un-cookie-cutter moving email data to a new machine is.
Circa Outlook 2000, I managed a thousand laptops and we copied PST
files with ease and never a problem. I get different dignals, now.
