*Inbox Rules can be recreated in your new Outlook Profile. If you use >10 rules, we recommend that this be required.

Preparation is OPTIONAL (we can not make this decision for you - please review closely)

Inbox Rules** (Action that runs automatically to manage incoming or outgoing messages)
Personal Archive - if you want to make extra super sure that you have everything (Manually created archive, stored locally on your computer)

**Inbox Rules can be recreated in your new Outlook Profile. If you use <10 rules, it's your choice as to export/import or to recreate.

Preparation is NOT required (these items will have to be attached to your new profile after the migration):

NOTE: While preparation is not required Pre-Migration for the below items, please make a note to yourself that there WILL be a few short steps after you create your NEW Outlook Profile (*or other) to re-assign them appropriately. (see Reconfigure Your Computer)

Email Signatures (personalized signatures for your email messages)
Out of Office Reply Settings (Automated replies)
Forwarding Settings (Office 365 account automatically goes to another email account, such as your Gmail account)
Personal Folders (Copies of emails on your computer, not on the server)
Archived Mail (Similar to Personal Folders)

I'm Not Sure If I Use Any of These

If you are unsure, please ask! Most of you will use little more than Email Signatures, Out of Office Reply Settings and perhaps a few Inbox Rules. (See Support)
