Why is this so difficult???
I love Outlook 2007 and have used Outlook since the 2002 version.
The one thing that has disappointed me is that I haven't figured out how to backup, restore, and move the .pst files from one computer to another. It's so simply it seems, but I don't remember ever doing it right. Any brilliant ideas? Thanks. |

Only simple because we answer this question every day.
The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored. Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer: http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm http://www.howto-outlook.com/Howto/backupandrestore.htm http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...771141033.aspx -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "HoosierAdvisor" wrote in message ...

One, I find this to be easier but also I learned the hard way my IT department didn't backup the default location and I lost my .pst file. :-( -- John Mayson Austin, Texas, USA |

We had tiny quotas on the Exchange server and they insisted we download all messages off the server onto our hard drives. So we had to use it more lil POP3 than Exchange. As time went on our quotas grew. John -- John Mayson Austin, Texas, USA |
