Hi,
Not sure exactly how to ask this.  We are about to move to Exchange 2003,
and as such users will get a new e-mail account on Outlook and I will have to
copy their contacts and e-mail into Exchange.
One of the nice features of Outlook 2003 is that once you have typed in an
e-mail address, Outlook 2003 remembers it when you type a new message.  I'm
not sure what this is called, but if I am sending an e-mail to
joe@domain.com, and I bring up a new message and in the "To" field hit j, it
will auto display me a list of e-mail addresses beginning with j that I can
choose from.
Will I lose this when I create the exchange account for each user and it
becomes the active account?  Is that info saved somewhere that I can copy?

Thanks,

Mike

Depends, are you creating a new mail profile in the migration or do you
change account settings?

Roady,
I believe it needs to be a new account because the setting for POP3 and
Exchange are a bit different.  I don't think I can just edit the existing
account.
Does that make sense?

Yes, you need a new account, but do you also recreate the mail profile? The
mail profile can hold multiple and various accounts.

Which method are you going to use to migrate the configuration settings on
the client machines?

Roady,

I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by "recreate the mail profile"?  My
plan was on the Monday after the cutover, to go to each user's desktop and
create an Exchange account on Outlook 2003 and once that is working, connect
to their existing .pst file and copy contacts/mail/calendar.

Do you have a suggestion of how better to do this?

Thanks,
Mike
