Transferring Outlook config files

Question

Sign in to vote
We use O365 for our backend mail service and Outlook 2013 client installed on staff laptops. I'm looking for advice on which files/directories to transfer in the event a user is migrating to a new laptop (i.e. signatures, configuration files etc so that any/all views/settings are retained on the new machine.)

Thanks!

Views, rules, and autocomplete are stored in the exchange mailbox. Signatures, custom dictionary, autocorrect, custom toolbars, custom stationery and templates would be all you need to move. I have a list of files and their location at https://www.slipstick.com/outlook/backup-outlook-2013/#files
