Sorry :) no need for exporting because they are already pst’s! Just find them and copy them over and put them whereever on the new computer! Use the import from outlook!

Outlook will "understand" where to find the IMAP servers?
IMAP for the 2 gmail accounts, but I gave the rule to delete the email after downloading to outlook, so they do not exist in the cloud, only in the outlook.pst.
I didn't define office365 in the "new" computer as IMAP. But I got confused because after installing outlook365 in the new computer i didn't have any outlook.pst file. This was my first question in this thread. seems like office365 didn't open any outlook.pst, and most likely created it as IMAP.
BUT I have precious info in outlook.pst which is not in any cloud.
- If you have used IMAP the mails should be left on the server! Do you use IMAP for your office 365 account also??
