Hi guys,
my question is :
How can I transfer my old .pst files to a new Outlook set up and maintain the ability to have the program auto insert my contacts Email address as I type the first few letters of an Email address or contact
Also is it possible to mirror the Outlook install so as to avoid the Imported folders situation ? Lastly is there a method of transferring the account settings so that it doesn't need to re configured for example smtp and pop settings
Thank you
tmy

A simple way:
- Install Office on new machine.
- Click File tab and select Open & Export > Import/Export.
- Import and Export wizard will open, select Import from another program or file.
- Import Outlook Data File will open, click the Browse button and select the old .pst file.
- Import Outlook Data File To import everything leave as Default and click Finish.
Or you can use third party tool like this

Hi Brian,
thank you for that I will give it a go. Is there anyway to save the the old settings ? I mean the server settings and smtp etc from the app data area. Lastly will the auto insert facility work when typing the first few letters of a contact ?
Many thanks
