Thanks for that, but I can't see how that works. I have used that to copy the
settings from the various outlook components, but it has never copied my
email account details.

A post elsewehere also states that you have to redo everything manally

In case you didn't know, Office provides the Save My Settings Wizard as a tool to migrate not just email accounts but other settings.

It is a real pain to copy your email accounts to a new system.
It is easy enough to export emails and contacts via exporting and importing
the pst - you should be able to do the same with email accounts (eg pop3)
without having to re-enter them manually

I'm trying to save some time also. I have outlook 2007 installed on my
desktop
computer. Today, I re-installed Vista and Office 2007 on my laptop. I want to
migrate all my settings ( MS Outlook shortcuts, Personal Address Book, Rules,
Signatures, Stationery, Menu or toolbar customizations, Nicknames, Navigation
Pane settings and especially my Send/Receive settings (.srs file). Actually,
I'd be happy with that alone.

I've copied them over to the correct places in Vista, but I still get the
configuration screen.

Can I do what I'm trying to do? Is there another way? I have not found the
.... "Save my Settings Wizard" in Office 2007.

No, you cannot do that as the Outlook Profile is not an independent set of
files and settings. In order to move them to another computer, a level of
abstraction is required before taking those settings and a level of
dependency needs to be recreated based on the configuration of the new
computer.

Best is to use a specialized tool for this. I've had good results with ABF
Outlook Backup;

If you decide to order use ABF-1HTJ8 to get a discount.
