MS Outlook 2007 Advice Needed

[David]

I am in the process of changing the MB and I will need to install XP(ie formatting the C: partition). I am using Outlook 2007. There's some mail and address book I would like to keep. What and how should I do? I saw Import/Export, what is this function? Thank You.

search for your *.pst and *.pab file

these are the files you need to keep

 

assuming that you had all backed up yr data into pst files.

if not, start doing that now

This is for Outlook 2003 but should be largely the same...

 

Click

 

File > Data File management > Add > Office Outlook Personal Folder file (.pst) > OK > the rest very simple, just follow through (take note of the folder location when u save)

 

After that you should have a new folder on the left side. Drag and drop all the mails you want to keep into it. Then copy the .pst file into your portable HDD.

 

Done.

Sorry to hijack your thread, but it is still relating to Outlook 2007.

 

When using Outlook 2000, I can save each individual email account holders as a *.iaf files. But Outlook 2003/2007 I don't see the same function in

Tools> Account> Export; i.e there is no 'Export' function to export each email accounts so that I can import into other PCs or setup such that I don't have to re-configure all the different email settings again.

 

Thanks!
