Well if you cannot 'afford' to lose data I assume you have backups?
Archive is not a backup
Usually you just start the installation process & upgrade

This may be a dumb question but I could not find much in the way of
installation and migration tips on the MS site. I just purchased the 2007
Office Standard suite and am researching the installation and migraiton.
Does
Outlook 2007 migrate all of your existing mail folders? I can't afford to
lose some of my mail and I don't want to archive all of it.

Are there any other gotchas in migration. I have seen a few posts that
indicate 2007 hangs first time after starting it.
