Hi,
Can anyone point me to a good write up for migrating Outlook to a new PC,
complete with different accounts etc - so that it looks to the non-tech
end-user just like the old system ?
TIA

Is this related to an Exchange migration or are you just looking to backup
and restore a PST?

If it's for a POP account, see this:

If it's for an Exchange account, you shouldn't have to do that much, since
the new PC will access the same mailbox as the old PC.

That said, there are settings that will be difference, but the Microsoft
Office Save My Settings Wizard should help with that.
