Thanks! Does USMT actually move POP and IMAP account settings in Outlook as well?

In order to migrate the PST files youll need to use a custom XML override. Here is a sample that will gather all PST files from all fixed drives:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<migration urlid="http://www.microsoft.com/migration/1.0/migxmlext/pst">

  <component type="Documents" context="UserAndSystem">

    <displayName>All PST migrated from all fixed drives, regardless of location</displayName>

    <role role="Data">

      <rules>

        <include>

          <objectSet>

            <script>MigXmlHelper.GenerateDrivePatterns ("* [*.pst]", "Fixed")</script>

          </objectSet>

        </include>

      </rules>

    </role>

  </component>

</migration>

Paste that into Notepad and save as PST.XML into your USMT folder. When you add that to your scanstate and loadstate command-lines with /i:pst.xml then all fixed drive PST files will be migrated.

For more information, please refer to the following Microsoft TechNet blog:

USMT, OST, and PST

http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2010/02/11/usmt-ost-and-pst.aspx

You may also move the .pst files without USMT by following the steps the following Microsoft KB article provided:

How to move your personal folders (.pst) file in Outlook

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/291636

Ref: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/4ccc7d2d-2b15-4e93-a761-e6b210ca0101/using-usmt-to-migrate-users-profile-and-noticed-that-pst-files-stored-on-the-network-are-migrated?forum=winservergen

Once again, it's the account settings that I'm asking about. Not just moving .pst files...

Thanks! Does USMT actually move POP and IMAP account settings in Outlook as well?

Yes, it could be. Condition is all the mail settings/data file is located in the default path.

Sure, user needs to type the password manually in the new machine and then Outlook should remember that.

I haven't had time to look at this until now. concerning this USMT guide...

http://blogs.technet.com/b/nepapfe/archive/2013/04/15/using-usmt-v-5-to-migrate-your-profile-data-apps-amp-profile-settings.aspx

If I understand it correctly it migrates all user data. I just want to move the Outlook files and settings... Is that possible?
