Default OL2000 to OL2003 ?

I have Outlook 2000 on my desktop...just got a new laptop with OL2003
installed. Can I migrate all my 2000 settings to 2003 and how ?

Also...can I swap pst files back and forth on a daily basis from my desktop
2000 to/from notebook 2003 ?

Thanks, Tim

BZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!! Wrong.

If the Outlook 2003 file is created in unicode format, it is NOT backwards
compatible. The OP would need to create a new .pst file in the 97-2003
style (Ansi) to be compatible with previous versions. Dragging and dropping
folders between the new and the old should populate it nicely.

Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Wrong answer on wrong subject. If the OP
just copies and drops the .pst files from 2k into 2003 he should be good
to go.
Can't remember how long I've been doing exactly that (since 97 or 2k?)

Sorry - do not pass Go - do not collect your $200.

From the original post:

desktop 2000 to/from notebook 2003

You CANNOT swap .pst files back and forth from the two applications if the
file formats are different. PERIOD.
