 or the exisiting .pst file can simply be moved also if the is nothing in the new Outlook you wish to keep. &nbsp;Just be sure to uncheck the read-only tick after moving. (can't use this method if you're are moving to Outlook 2003.)<br />
<br />
Also copy and move all the files under:<br />
<br />
C:\Documents &amp;&nbsp;Settings\&lt;your profile&gt;\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook<br />
<br />
in order to transfer your customized rules, print views, vba projects,internet settings, local custom views, etc. if you want them.<br />

If you're moving to Outlook 2003, I'm not sure how many of these will be able to be moved because I haven't made that move/switch for anyone yet. &nbsp;I would think most of these files should be able to be used because the biggest change is in the way the inforamtion store is handled and Microtech's export/import is the way that would have to be done for 2003.<br />
