May I ask why you need to export the PST’s? both Gmail and Outlook is cloud services and all the mails , calendar and contacts should be in the cloud! just configure the same accounts on the new computer and the content should be visible! Pst is good when you want to copy content to another mail account or if you have archived old mail as backup! If you don’t have this, you should be fine!

Google is could based for sure.
But I want to use outlook also offline, when network is down.
In my "old" computer this is how I worked. I also synch my mobile contacts and calendar with outlook.
Would you suggest a different way to manage my emails?
- Yes, but when you set up your account on the new computer those mails will be downloaded and stored locally as well! So no need to copy them over from the old machine!
Your mobile device connects to the outlook servers and nothing above will change that !
Cheers AdamI am not sure I understand how it works.
Right now, in my "old" computer, I do have outlook.pst, and I want to keep all the tons of info I have there. It is not in the cloud, it is on my computer.
How will my "new" computer see it?
- Okay :) in this case you have archived mails to local pst’s
