migrating to MS Outlook 2007 from 2002?

[Susan Irwin]

If I install Microsoft Outlook & Office 2007 to replace MS Outlook 2002 that
cam on my computer, will my email inbox, sent messages and address book
migrate or will they be lost?

Outlook 2007 should automatically pick up your data and settings.
However - as in all these things you might want to backup your data first,
just as a precaution.

The other thing that you might want to consider - Outlook 2002 uses the old
ANSI format pst file which is limited in theory to 2GB in size, but in
practice to about 1.8GB. Outlook 2007 can use the new UNICODE formatted pst
files which can be up to 20GB in size and are far more robust, so you might
want to create a new 2007 pst file and copy all your data to it.
