I just want to confirm this procedure because I have managed to frog this up a few times and I don't want to do it again in an upcoming upgrade. Nothing has been done yet.
Old PC running Outlook 2007, everything stored in PST
Lots of folders for email storage created
Set to "Leave a copy of messages on the server" (indefinitely)
New computer with Outlook 2016, Outlook to be configured as IMAP
1. Uncheck setting on old computer "Leave a copy of messages on the server"
2. Run Send/Receive in Outlook on old computer to pull all messages off server
3. Transfer PST files to new PC
4. Set up IMAP account on new computer, let it run and sync
5. Use import function in Outlook 2016 to get messages and folders into IMAP account on new PC
6. Let new Outlook sync again
I just want to make sure of two things. Getting all the old custom folders into the IMAP account and not getting duplicates - thus the "remove from server" step.
"Living tomorrow is everyone's sorrow.
Modern man's daydreams have turned into nightmares.
