Hi -- I used Files & Settings Transfer to set up most of the stuff on my new
machine. However, it didn't transfer my Outlook 2003 emails, folders and
settings. How is this best done? If using F&ST program, what do I need to
make sure to include on the settings and folder lists? Thanks.--CR
 
Import the PST file. Unfortunately without going to a lot of trouble you'll
need to manually add your email account's setup.

Ugh. I think I managed to copy everything over, but boy is that annoying.
I'll right now plug a sync option to make upgrading/multi-machine use
easier...

Thanks!
 
Hi,

Don't forget to backup rules in Outlook 2003.
Choose Tools - Rules Wizard, and then click Options.
In the Options dialog box, click Export Rules, and choose a file
location.
And don't forget the Safe Sender, Safe Recipient, Block Senders lists.
Go to Tools - Options - Preferences tab - Junk E-mail and export each
list.
