What is the problem with migrating Outlook? Shouldn't you just be able to copy the database? Or does the new computer not have Outlook?

i know how to do it - it is just tedious - go to import and export - backup the main folder,as pst; then backup the archive folder as pst, then export the reg keys which hold the account details and passwords...then reverse all that on the new PC.... but then that does not copy over all the rules and filters - I have yet more instruction for that somewhere.... I have moved some accounts to imap in thunderbird and I think all I need do there is backup and restore tbird's app data folder.... i considered moving all to imap but I like the old fashioned local filters and folders set up that I've had for years in outlook
