You can't.
Create them yourself.

Yes you can...it's easy and virtually seamless:
- Buy a copy of ABF Outlook Backup (www.outlookbackup.com). $40
- Install it on both the 'donor' computer and the 'recipient' computer, with Outlook present on both.
- Back up the Outlook on the first machine
- Transfer the file to the 2nd machine
- Restore Outlook on the 2nd machine using the program and file.
- You are done.
Best forty bucks I ever spent. I spent hours looking around various web sites and forums, and was constantly informed (like above) that I would have to hand key in my 21 e-mail addresses into the accounts, cut and paste .pst files, etc.
The task looked daunting. I Googled "tranfer Outlook from one computer to another" and "move outlook 2007 to outlook 2010", and a hundred derivations of the same. They all said the same things.....major labor, registry edits, and worst of all, as Russ advised, manual account data reconstruction.
Deeply buried in one thread was a reference to Outlook Backup. Kind of a second thought in someone's message. So, I looked at it, and tried it.
None of the above hassles of cutting, pasting, and manual entry were necessary....my account info, settings, signature files, fonts, backgrounds, all e-mails, archive data, etc was seamlessly moved.
I had to fix about five of my folder 'rules' on the new computer...somehow, those moved but needed editing. Ten minutes. Everything else was PERFECT.
I'm up, running, and happy.
And, I will be from time to time running a backup of Outlook with the handy program, and storing it off site in the event I have an Outlook crash or data destruction.
Once in a while, great software comes around...this is it, and it's reasonably priced.
