Profile #1 is a roaming, domain level profile in which I have my email data, etc. I'd like to eliminate this profile as I'm no longer roaming / on domain. Profile #2 is a workstation level profile which is the primary profile I would like to use. Problem is, when i'm in #2, I can't see any of my emails that are contained in outlook in profile #1 and all the settings are different. Is there a way to transfer / copy the settings from #1 to #2?
