I installed Outlook 2007 on my new machine and managed to get the pst and
signature files from the old machine transferred. However, in the new installation I don't see Rules and Alerts under the Tools menu. How do I create rules? I assume it would be possible to bring in the rules from the old machine, if so, which file do I need to copy over? J |

... I installed Outlook 2007 on my new machine and managed to get the pst and signature files from the old machine transferred. However, in the new installation I don't see Rules and Alerts under the Tools menu. How do I create rules? It should be there. Enable the Advanced toolbar and see if the "Rules and Alerts" button appears on it. I assume it would be possible to bring in the rules from the old machine, if so, which file do I need to copy over? They're in the registry or PST, depending on the prior version of Outlook. For OL 2003 ande above, they should be in the PST. However, I find that it's best to export them on the old PC with the Rules Wizard, then import them on the new machine with that Rules Wizard. That way, no matter where they're stored, you'll have an RWZ file to take with you. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
