    Ive been working form home for the past couple of months and have naturally designed my settings on my home computer's Outlook 7 to my liking/preferences.

    I am moving into an office on Monday and, am starting work on a brand new Dell desktop with a fresh version of Outlook. Now I know I can transfer a .pst file but what about all my personal settings. How do i go about transferring those? (color categories, random settings in email options, etc.)

    Color categories should be included in the .pst file. As for email account settings, I'm not sure if they can be backed up or not. I usually just re-enter the settings in Outlook whenever I reinstall it.
