I followed the link and found .pst, .pab, .ost and others but there are no
files like that on my wifes present pc. Being the paranoid fool that I am
and not wanting to screw up the wife's email, I have another question. If I
copy over the .pst file she has, if everything doesn't go as it should, can I
replace it with the "original" .pst file and start over?

There are several other Outlook files you may want to move to the new
machine along with the .PST file. Here's a list of files and their
locations:

I am moving my wife's pst file from Outlook XP to a new laptop with
Outlook
2003. When I put her pst file into Application Data etc., will it also
bring
in the rules I have created fir her email accounts? She receives emails
from
2 servers and I have created a rule to deliver her emails from the 2nd
server
to the Inbox in her second set of folders. I royally screwed this up last
year and the dear woman doesn't trust me. Help would be greatly
appreciated
before the wifey will let me even attampt this.
Thanks in advance for any help.
