Remove ABCD from Email address to reply

I will be moving my Outlook 2007 to a new computer and want to know what
files I need to copy to minimize my setup. I know that I need to copy my
pst file for the data but I don't know what other files should be copied
(i.e. to get profile, etc).

Would appreciate any information
 
What OSes are on the computers in question? Vista's migration program works
pretty well for this
 
The pst file is all that is needed. I suggest that you put it in a folder
under Documents for easy backup. Open Outlook on the Vista machine and then
File> Open> Outlook data file and browse to the pst in that new folder under
Documents.
 
If I only copy my pst file, I will not get the profile and will not get the
email setup. I would like to get these items since they will be the same.
 
Don't even try it. There is no reliable way to transfer this information.
Always start Outlook 2007 with a new profile that you configure from
scratch. Nothing else will work. Then you configure the new profile to use
the PST file that you copied.
