Changing companies...changing email address by Sasha
Will I lose all of my data, files, emails once the current email address iscancelled and/or changed? I have Outlook 2003. Can't figure out how to open
the .pst file where I assume everything is saved to. Should I forward all
current emails to a different email account or is there a much simpler way?
Please help...Thank you!

using the hardware and software of the company you are now with, remain the
property of that company so you need to be VERY sure about taking any
company data with you.
Notwithstanding that, if all your Outlook data is stored in a local pst file
then no, you won't lose anything.

Gordon says, get permission to take the old company data with you. It doesn't
beloing to you.
What type of account? If Exchange, you'll lose access to the data if you
delete the Exchange account. In that case, create a PST and copy the data to
it before removing the account. If a POP account, it will go along with the
computer so if you take the PC, you'll take the data. When you configure
Outlook with the new address, keep in mind that Outlook will attempt to reply
using your old account if you try to reply to any of the messages, so you may
have to select the new account deliberately when you reply.
