I'd like to transfer my outlook files from one PC to another. What is
the correct way to do this? I want to transfer my messages, contacts, rules, etc. I want my reminders to still be there. I don't want to get duplicate emails nor reminders. I do know how to transfer the PST file. however, last time I did that, I: 1) lost my email signatures 2) lost my rules 3) got duplicates of many emails 4) lost all of my overdue reminders 5) got duplicates of the reminders with alarm times after the transfer to the new PC. ....and surely more hassles that I don't even remember or haven't noticed yet. So, in short -there's clearly more to moving Outlook from one PC to another than transferring the pst file. What are the proper steps? I'm on XP-Pro and Outlook 2007 |

Last time you used the wrong method, Import/Export?

And I had all the problems listed above. |

I posted it-- using groups.google.com, but it didn't show up until at least 5 days later. So, I reposted it -- and they both showed up eventually. (Sorry) |
