I finally got all of my email accounts into Outlook and set up the rules to get everything into the proper folders. I'd like to be able to have an identical setup on my laptop.

I'm running 2003 on my Desktop and 2002 on my laptop.

Can I just copy the .pst file from my desktop onto my laptop or is there some other way to accomplish this?

Any other tips also appreciated.

TIA!

The PST is just a datastore. It holds all your email. It does not hold account settings, nor rules or preferences. I am not aware of an easy way to keep the two systems the same. I use Thunderbird for the ease of keeping it sync'd. I can just copy my profile directory between machines.

Good info. Any way to export all of the account settings? I have 11 accounts set up in there.
