Outlook Mail and settings transfer

[ibcsweb]

Hi all!

I have a friend who needs to preform a back up of all the email and settings/folder structure in thier Outlook 2010 to another machine with the same version of Outlook.

The amount of data is huge.

50+gig of emails and atatchments. (Maybe not huge to some members here but it is unusual in my experience).

We cannot gain access to one of the servers which holds the email account which contains most of the data.

I have looked at simply copying the pst file but further reading has indicated that it will only copy the data and not the settings.

I thought about copying the settings and data file separatley but would then lose the structure.

Is there any way that I could drag the whole set up accross to the new computer.

Any help would be appreciated.
