Hello,
I am formatting a computer for a friend but need to backup up Outlook.

I ahve backed up the outlook.pst and archive.pst files.

Do those files include all current downloaded emails, contacts and settings to connect to the accounts like usernames and passwords?
 
They should contain all their emails and contacts and other data. It wont store usernames and passwords as far as I am aware.
 
In any case I always take a look in the account settings and jot down anything useful on a pen and paper before I format. That can be a headache saver.
 
yeh, I ahve just noted in Evernote all the email account settings, It's the downloaded emails and contacts I need. and you're sure they are both in the two .pst files I ahve backed up?
 
It saves all the addresses you have ever sent mail to - so they pop up automatically when you start typing someone's address.
