Default Migrating Outlook

Hi,

I am having problems with a domain login on my PC. For some reason, the
password suddenly stopped working. As I work remotely, I can't work out any
way to fix this easily (although I've not given up, yet, and have a question
trying to get an answer on that one). One suggestion was that I create a
local user on my laptop - it won't solve the login problem, but will let me
work around the issues. I can easily copy data files and the settings across.
But I have a problem with migrating my outlook.

I connect, via VPN, to an exchange server. I've got rather large email files
sitting on that server, so I don't want to go through the process of having
to resynch the entire account. The local file is near on a GB.

I can access the data files easily enough, but I can't log in to the old
user. I was wondering if there was any way I could move those to the new user
account and copy the existing outlook settings. After a quick google, all of
the instructions require me to log-in on the old set-up, something I'm unable
to do.

If there is a way to do this, could someone please point me to some
instructions on how to do this?

Oh, some technical details. I'm using XP Pro - I have admin access on the
machine. We are using outlook 2003 (I'm not sure on the subversion
information) and I think we use Small Business Server 2003 for the exchange
end.

Thanks,
Geoff.
