Reinstall windows 7. Outlook help

[mattyg]

Hiya folks

Need to do a reinstall on win7 on my laptop. It gets canned and has been about 3 yrs or so.

Not worried about most of it apart from Outlook 2013 (office365)

I have a number of email accounts and staff holidays etc booked on the calendar.

How/what is the easiest way to restore these back to normal after I've reinstalled

Thanks
Matt

Lol

I found that before trying here, but it doesn't appear to be a 100% fix. I cant risk losing anything.

@$29 its not massively expensive but it's still a waste if I can 100% guarantee a smooth swap

Are these pop email accounts or exchange?

You should just be able to export to PST files.

Imap.

Worried about losing calendar entries (34 drivers Holidays) etc.

You should be able to export these to a pst.

If you want to test it before hand try the following;-

1. Export calendar entries to pst
2. Create a new outlook profile called Test (control panel > mail)
3. Launch outlook using the test profile & setup your imap accounts
4. Import the calendar entries to this test profile

This way you are doing a dry run for when you re-install

Thanks, Ill give it a go
