Save preference in outlook

[yuezhang448]

I'd like to know if there is a way to save preference (in options) for
outlook 2003, so that for reinstall I don't have reset it again. Thanks.

What "preferences"? If you mean settings, just open your old .pst file in
your new installation of Outlook. File->open->outlook data file.

Better yet, when configuring your mail profile (control panel-.mail
ison->profiles->new), point it to your saved .pst file.

Setting means options in tools->options->preferences->calendar or notes or
contacts. For example, background color for calendar events, font for note,
etc. These settings are not stored in .pst file, so each time I reinstall
outlook I have to reset them again. So I wonder if there is a way to save
them along with .pst file or in other file. Please note, my version is
outlook 2003. Thanks.
