Re: Moving Outlook from PC to laptop and back

Hi Hal,
Thanks for the response. I have my .pst folder set up on the laptop now and
I did the "import" for the rwz file. I now have 2 sets of the same rules, the
only difference being one set says (For other machine) after each rule.

Also, I'm not sure where to bring the NK2 file. Right now both the .rwz and
..nk2 files are in "my documents". I put the .pst folder in my
documents/outlook

Can you advise if I should have the duplicate set of rules and what to do
with the .nk2 file?
Thank you!

I should add that rules can be exported from the Rules Wizard on one machine
and imported into Outlook on another.

Moving the .PST file will give you everything but the Outlook profile and
rules, since these live in the Registry. Do NOT paste the .PST file over
any existing .PST files as this will corrupt your Outlook profile; copy it
somewhere else and use 'File|Open|Outlook Data File' to access it. You
have
no need to disable the download function on the PC as I assume you will
not
be using it while away.

Hi All,
I apologize if this is a double post. I replied to a post I found from
over
a year ago and could not find my post so was not sure if it worked or
not.
I use outlook for everything, including the journal entries. I am going
out
of the country on business in a few days and just purchased a laptop. I
uninstalled the trial version of Office 2007 Small Business and installed
my
licensed copy of 2003. I run that on both the PC and laptop now.
I would like to know the best way of using outlook on both without losing
anything, without downloading triplicate emails from my server, keeping
the
rules I have set up for filtering messages from certain domains to
certain
folders, bringing the journal entries etc. My thought was to copy the
.pst
file from the PC and paste it into the folder that houses the .pst on the
laptop and just open outlook. But...will that open? Is that the right
way?
Will it allow the user profile from the PC to run on the laptop? Then,
what
happens when I return and want to resume using outlook on the PC but need
copies of any emails from when I was away or any calendar appts, journal
entries created on the laptop. Also, should I disable the email download
function on the PC while I am away so I don't duplicate the emails in
the
profile when I come back? How does this work if I leave a copy of all my
emails on my server after they download so I can access them from
anywhere?

Thank you in advance for your help. I have looked through previous posts
but
these questions still are not clear for me.
