Moving content from one exchange account to another

[J1mmy]

I use outlook to manage my mail, calender, contact notes etc using my exhange account. I'm going to be moving to a new account this week and my current one will be closing down.

Is there any way I can transfer all my content from my current exchange to my new exchange account? I don't mind if it has to be done through Outlook but would have thought there might be a little more to it than just simply saving everything and opening it up in the new exchange account...

Back up everything to a PST.

But wouldn't that also backup the account information like the SMTP servers and other connection information too and then try to apply them to my new account?

No

No, a PST file is simply a store of mail (and calendar, etc) entries - and holds no details of the account configuration that received the item/s.

You may also want to make/take a copy of the PST before uploading it into the 'new' Exchange account, just in case you have any issues...
