Outlook 2003 - Moving to new machine, Export data or copy PST ?
I'm setting up a machine for a friend he has Outlook.PST and Archive.PST on the disk. (total of 1.5 GB. I know about size. I'll teach him after we move in.) Do I export the files or do I copy the PST files directly and point to them? FWIW, it's all XP/Home and Outlook 2003. I've done a bunch of googling and reading of Usenet archives and I'm amazed how un-cookie-cutter moving email data to a new machine is. Circa Outlook 2000, I managed a thousand laptops and we copied PST files with ease and never a problem. I get different dignals, now. -- a d y k e s @ p a n i x . c o m Harrison for Congress in NY 13CD www.harrison06.com Don't blame me. I voted for Gore. A Proud signature since 2001
