In any case unless you paid extra for Office you only have trial version of
Office/Outlook

Hi, in the new laptop open outlook but not configure nothing yet, the
process will create an outlook pst file, later we will delete.
Close Outlook.
Copy from your old computer all the directory:
"C:\Users\userName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlo ok\*.* " to the same
direction in your new computer.

Open outlook and everething could be ok, in case outlook can not
recognize, you can add manually the pst file and remove the deault pst
file created by outlook.

Good luck!

Not correct. Overwriting Outlook files will simply corrupt the profile
without connecting the data to the profile.
Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:
http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm
http://www.howto-outlook.com/Howto/backupandrestore.htm
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...771141033.aspx

Note that some of the information on these pages is outdated and no longer
applies to Outlook 2003 or 2007. Specifically:
1. Ignore any advice to copy your PST file to Outlook's default location to
connect it to your profile. Doing so only corrupts your profile. Copy it
anywhere BUT the default location and open it within your Outlook profile.
2. Ignore any advice that tells you to use export or import to transfer
Outlook data. That has never been sound advice, but the process has become
too deeply flawed now to be of any use whatsoever.

If outlook hasnt been configured there will be such path, if such a path
exists overwriting an existing pst will likely result in a corrupt pst and

Sometimes correct, but you couldn't prove it by me. I've done that
scores of times and have never had a problem.

I did this procedure every time change to a new computer and my last
time was 2 weeks ago and to a windows vista ultimate edition and works
perfectly, never this process corrupt my files. And by the way, what
files will corrupt is you not configure outlook yet?
The advantage of this procedure is that all the mails, contacts, task
and rules are copied and you save time.
But as all forums, is your decision to do or not.

Good Luck!
