Default How do I keep my contacts & personal folders from Outlook 2003

Before I install Outlook 2007 I would like to know what to do? How can I make
sure that I don't loose anything? Could someone please give me step by step
instructions for getting this done the right way?

Backup your pst-file. For details see
http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/backupandrestore.htm

That said, an upgrade won't loose any data or settings but it is often
recommended to recreate your mail profile anyway when changing versions.

I have installed the Microsoft Office Professional 2007 and it removed
Outlook 2003 so once it removes Outlook 2003 how do you get your contacts and
personal folders back and into Outlook 2007

Simply start Outlook again and the setting will get transferred
automatically.
The two links I pointed out in my previous reply will tell you what to do if
it doesn't.
