If I had say 100 folders in the Outlook folder list, all with e-mails
inside them, what's the best way to make an exact copy of them so that
if I had to completely uninstall Outlook I would be able to recreate
all the mail/folders once it is reinstalled?
I thought it was possible just to go to the documents and
setting/user/localsetting/application data/microsoft/outlook and then
copy the .pst files there, and once the outlook had been removed and
reinstalled the files could just be pasted back in, but I haven't had
any luck with doing this.
How can I quickly make an exact copy of everything in Outlook (an image
basically), that I can just plop back in afterwards???

I'm new to the Outlook world...
