I just upgraded my system by wiping it and putting in Win 7 and Office 2010. I kept an image of the original, XP/Office 2007, system on another drive.



Anyway I imported the .pst from the 2007 install and got what I expected other then the rules. I have tried everything. I have opened the old .pst up directly in a seperate profile, still no rules. I had a lot of them and hate to have to recreate them. Should I have exported them before doing the rebuild? I can't figure out why they aren't there and where to get them.

Unfortunately, rules are not stored in the .PST file. Rules have to be exported separately. If you can access the old image, you'll want to open Outlook 2007 and export the rules so you can bring them over.

Open the Rules and Alerts window (Tools > Rules and Alerts), and click on Options, there will be buttons to Export and Import rules. The rules would be exported into a .RWZ file, which could then be imported into Outlook 2010.
