Backing up MSOffice Outlook

[Ruthless Shadow]

Is there anyway to backup my Outlook setup? Not the data but the actual desktop look and feel. All the tweeking you do to get it to look and act just way you want it. Anyone seen an article or web page that talks about it?

I am curious about this also...

I have just recently been forced to use Outlook because of our local mail server, & so far I hate Outlook. I used Outlook express for years & always backed up everything, I have copies of emails from 5 years ago & imported them (somewhat) to Outlook. It must be the same.

Let me know what you find out Ruthless

Hey Anthony,

As far as backing up the data (personal folders) like emails, calendars, contacts I use this and it works great. It's an add in program put out by Microsoft.

Microsoft used to have a program where you could back your custom tool bar settings to their website and retreive them later. Say you wanted your home Outlook to be exactly the same as your office setup you could backup to this site then go to home and retreive it and whala (sp) they were the same. Not your data but all the tweeking you did on your tools bars, fonts, etc. MS discontinued in due to "lack of interest". :(

I know all that stuff is saved to one file but I can't remember what it's called.:puzzled:
