How do I easily transfer Outlook 2010 settings, etc. to a new pc?

Oh, and I forgot to add that I would like to hear from people who have done this type of thing successfully. Thanks.

So would I.

I’ve done this with Outlook 2007 (not 2010). Moving the PST/OST and the archive is easy. Copy them to a large USB thumb drive. Set up the new machine’s Outlook profile, and in the section called DATA FILE, tell it where to look for the PST/OST and archive files. You will need to set them up and secondary data files and then eventually you will delete the one that was automatically created by the Outlook config.

Folders carry over properly. That’s not a big deal.

Rule settings: I don’t use them, so I cannot comment on how well they will transfer over. My understanding is that they are house in the ‘front’ of the PST, so they may carry over, but I cannot tell you for sure .

But the data file piece is time consuming (4gb is going to take a while to copy), but it’s an easy thing to point the new PAC to the transferred data files.
