I never said not to use PST file. I'm saying your Archive.pst file does not
contain your current data.

You cannot export and transfer account settings.

Correct me if I'm wrong! But isn't it as simple as exporting the
account details from Outlook and moving the PST?

You're taking offense unnecessarily. In Outlook's parlance, "archive PST" has
a very specific meaning. It is the PST created and used by the autoarchive
process to store items that haven't been modified for a specified period of
time, removing them from the main folders so they don't take space needed for
active work. When you say "archive PST", we believe that's what you mean and
we can't know that you're using the term in a different way unless you tell
us.

Hi Diane,

I've been manually creating PST files to transfer my email folders and items
for over a decade, but never have the rules migrated with them. Is there
something specific I need to do during either the saving or re-opening
process?

Thanks.

What are the two of you still talking about?

To create my PST's, I have to go to File / Archive. This opens a dialog that
allows me to archive my folder structure and all my email items to PST file.
I don't accept that the expression "Archive PST" in this situation is
unacceptable and should open the door to people suggesting I'm confused or
ignorant.

And I am quite surprised and disappointed that you would align yourself with
that side of the debate. You're a MVP. If anyone should be open and
sympathetic to people referring to the expression "Archive PST" when
referring to "PST" files created through the "Archive" command, it would be
you. It's not like I was referring to ZIP files for crying out loud.

Would your time not have been better served telling me about email account
and rules migration, like Diane did?

Little too late now, but thanks anyway.
