Default how to move 'contacts' from one pc to another with outlook 2003

I am wanting to copy all my 'Contacts' in Outlook 2003 from the work
laptop to my home PC. They are both using Outlook 2003. How can I do
this?


Since the contacts are kept in the same place as all your other Outlook
data, if you're using a PST for storage, the easiest way is to simply copy
the entire PST. See this:
http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/backupandrestore.htm . If you're using
Exchange (one of the things you should always mention when asking an Outlook
question is the type of account your using and where your delivery location
is), or if you want to move ONLY the contacts, then create a PST with
FileNewOutlook Data File. Then copy the folder(s) you want to transport
to the new PST. MOve it to the other machine as described in the URL above.

Also, is there an option to 'send/receive' on opening Outlook?


While viewing your Inbox, press ALT-CTRL-S to bring up the Send/Receive
Group dialogue box. Check the option to check for messages every X minutes
and make X no less than about 10 minutes.
