Reminder:

E-mail profiles are what Outlook (or other client) uses to remember which e-mail accounts you use and where the data for each account is stored. Each profile provides Outlook with the following information:

  • What account information to use: This information includes the user name, display name, e-mail server name, and Internet service provider (ISP) account password.

  • Where the e-mail data is delivered and stored: In Outlook, data is delivered and stored either on the e-mail server or a in .pst file on your computer. This data includes rules, messages, contacts, calendars, notes, tasks, journals, Search Folders, and other settings

    Notes:

    • To clear up some confusion: As per the notes in Before You Start section (above), it is CRITICAL that you create a NEW Profile and NOT just add a new account to an existing Profile - This will not work for the Migration. However, AFTER you create the new profile you will THEN add your account to the (new) profile (see step 18).
