Wizard for moving Outlook settings from one computer to anothe
If you are importing or exporting the pst you lose your rules
"Erle" wrote in message ... I need to find a way to keep the rules in the PST file active after the PST file is copied to another computer and opened there. Using Outlook 2007, these rules dissapear when a PST is copied to another computer and opened there. This is a big problem: I use a rule to move messages from IMAP to my inbox where I read and manage them. I sync my outlook.pst file between my desktop and laptop, and need to keep this rule active on both! Thanks!

Otherwise, it's a fairly simple process to modify the Save My Settings Wizard's control file to copy the data files. In fact, there are comments in the control file showing how. It will copy any files you tell it to copy. OSTs don't need to be transferred because they'll be regenerated. nor does it save any rules you've set or account settings (send and receive servers etc.) The account settings should be saved by the Save My Settings Wizard. That's one of its default purposes. The rules are in the PST for non-Exchange accounts using a PST, so transferring the PST should transfer the rules, although you may have to reset the folders if any are named ni the rules. Otherwise, you can export the rules prior to the transfer, transfer the RWZ file as well, and import them afterward. You can have the Save My Settings Wizard include the RWZ file, if you tell it where to find it. and the wizard doesn't seem to be in Office 2007--or am I missing something? Unfortunately, you're not, but my understanding is that Vista is supposed to take over the transfer function. -- Brian Tillman
