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. |

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: http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm Outlook & Exchange/Windows Messaging Backup and Dual-Boot Hal -- Hal Hostetler, CPBE -- Senior Engineer/MIS -- MS MVP-Print/Imaging -- WA7BGX http://www.kvoa.com -- "When News breaks, we fix it!"

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?

They are in hidden folders and you must enable viewing hidden files and folders to see them or you have to open the hidden folders directly. For example, open Windows Explorer and enter %AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook in the Address field. Click Go. You'll see the files.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! My lovely wife finally bit the bullet and
let me switch her email to her laptop and, with your help and guidance, it went smoothly. I did have to "renew" the rule I created to send her emails from her second account to a seperate Inbox but that too went smoothly. Thanks again for your support.
