IMAP/OST File On A New Machine - Microsoft Community

-

hello

my ol' man's outlook consists of 2 email accounts. 1 pop3 , 1 imap. 

he has new laptop, i've transferred pst file on no problem.

i want setup imap. logic create imap seeing on server. lot of emails come inbox in outlook, has dealt , moved folders in pst account. if create new imap how prevent emails reappearing in inbox?

i set smoothly few months ago (for temporary laptop) , i'm sure copied ost file accross can't remember exactly.

thanks suggestions

not exact;ly clear on actual question

#1 - talking 2 separate , distinct email accounts (one pop , 1 imap) or referring 1 email account configured using 2 protocols?

#2 - when "moving" 1 folder another, item being moved deleted source location , copied destination location description, item "moved" <inbox> no longer exist in <inbox>

#3 - can assure you didn't "just copy ost file across.....". ost file can used outlook profile/email account used create of no use on machine. also, if outlook doesn't find ost file associated imap account, automatically re-created , email data re-sync'd.

- need pay close attention on original machine whether or not there contact/calendar folders in imap folder tree added description of "this computer only" - if yes, need exported manually pst file , file needs copied new machine , imported default contact folder.

if have configured pop account first, default contact folder exist in pst file associated pop account. if have configured imap account first, imap contact folder marked "this computer only" set default profile. default contact/calendar folders contained in "default data file" profile (go account settings --> data files tab determine set default,

<if> imap data file set default, suggest setting pop pst file default instead , moving contact/calendar data imap folders corresponding pop folders.
