Transfering Accounts From One Machine to Another
 
I need to be able to transfer accounts defined in Outlook 2007 from my desktop to my laptop. There
are over thirty accounts (please don't ask why) in one profile. How do I copy them between
machines?

I can find account information in the registry but am not sure at what level I need to export/import
the data. There is more than account information beneath the \Profiles\profile name. Do I need to
export/import all of it or should I just export the stuff under the \Profiles\profile
name\9375CFF0413111d3B88A00104B2A6676 key?

Vista's File and Settings Transfer Wizard should transfer that stuff.

I should have mentioned that the two machines are running Windows XP Pro SP3.

Hmmm, I don't think Office 2007 includes a settings transfer wizard but I'll
check.

I have been asked about moving to Windows 7. Is that anything that will move all of a users Outlook
settings (rules, accounts, etc) from Windows XP to Windows 7 or should I just tell them to stay on
XP?

I think in 2007, that rules are contained in the pst file. If that's
correct, then all you will need to re-do manually is the Email account.

There is no native option to move accounts
Rules are contained in the pst and are retained provided you dont export or
import the pst
