Exporting and Importing data

[lsoliz]

I am replacing my bosses machine with a new dell laptop.
I need to move his outlook over and he wants it exactly as
it is on his old machine.

Will someone explain the easiest and most efficient way to
do this?

If you are using exchange mailbox then the only thing you need to move over
is your boss's .pst and .pab files. If he don't have those two files then
you don't need to do anything. All the information is stored on the server.
Just reconfigure the new Outlook with his exchange mail information.

Since you didn't provide your Outlook version, I will assume you're using
Outlook 2002 or later Look at the following two articles for help with
this -- one is a primer on Outlook files, and the other gives instructions
for moving to a new Outlook 2002 (or 2003) machine.
