Hi
I need to move my files from a server running Outlook Exchange to MS Office
Outlook 2007.  I have done it before from MS Office Outlook 2003 to another
machine using MS Office Outlook 2003 using a *.pst file.  What is the
procedure I need to follow please to move from Outlook Exchange to MS Office
Outlook 2007.
Thanks

If using Exchange, the mail is stored on the server, so there is nothing to
move.

Hi Martin
I need to take the relevant files (email folders) from a network PC or
wherever they are stored and put them on a new stand alone PC not connected
to a network.  I just want to keep all my previous emails and address book
etc.  I hope that helps.
Regards
Mick

Then you need the PST file to take with you.
If you can tell me the following, Ill try to tell you where to find them.

Old PC:
Windows Version and Outlook Version

New PC:
Windows Version and Outlook Version

Hi Martin

I have found the relevant files which were *.ost.  I also found a program to
convert it to a *.pst file.

Thanks for you offer of help.

There is no difference - you can export your mailbox to a PST file in
Outlook. Use File | import/export wizard.

No need to do anrything w/OST files if you can still open the mail profile,
even offline - you just export directly to PST.
