Default (Outlook 2007) Best way to migrate POP3 account info + rules from one computer to another?

No, unfortunately. There is a 2step you could do to export them, but its
often easier to let outlook recreate the account, especially if
autodiscovery can find the accounts.

The 2step: on old computer, import accounts into OE/Mail/Live then save the
iaf's for each account. Import them into OE/Mail/LM on the other computer
and then import into Outlook.

Hi,


I am migrating to a new computer, and would like to transfer my Outlook
2007 stuff.


I already know how to transfer the emails themselves (via archive-pst)
but
I'd also like to transfer the various account info (I have a dozen
different POP3 email accounts that Outlook manages) as well as the
created
RULES I'd like to keep using on the new machine.


How do I transfer the accounts (all the POP3 info) + various rules?


(I don't think it matters, but just in case : old computer = WinXP 32 /
new computer = Win7 64.)


Thanks!


Correct me if I'm wrong! But isn't it as simple as exporting the
account details from Outlook and moving the PST?
