Is there a way to transfer the account settings to a new installation on a new computer?
I still have all the settings in both the iOS outlook app and Office Outlook at the old computer, and an empty office installed on the new one.

I use MSExchange server for email, so i dont need to move PST-files, backing up emails and such, since they all are on the server.

    Hi @Stefan Grönberg

    To transfer Outlook settings to a new device, you can save Outlook settings to the cloud. The new Store my Outlook settings in the cloud feature in Outlook Desktop stores your Outlook Microsoft 365 account settings and preferences in the cloud, automatically roaming across all your Outlook for Windows clients.

    Please go to the Outlook client >File>Option>General>Store my Outlook settings in the cloud.

    Then add an account on your new device.

    For more details, you can refer to: Information about Store my Outlook settings in the cloud - Microsoft Support.

    Hope this helps!

    This does not seem to include IMAP accounts....Only Exchange accounts.
