    I recently upgrade from Office 2003 to Office 2007, I started Outlook and proceeded to follow the wizard for setting up accounts. The Migration process started and then I accidentally stopped it from finishing. I want to restart the wizard to import the email accounts and setting from the 2003 version. I have tried the import feature, but it does not pull the old emails into Outlook.

    How can I redo the startup?

    I have tried to uninstall and reinstall, but it did not work. I am trying to transfer all information that was in the Outlook 2003 into the Outlook 2007.

    Haven't used migration but it should be fairly straightforward using Search to find 2003's outlook.pst file and add it to 2007 using File > Data File Management. Once you have the file showing in 2007 you can use Data File Management to make it the default mail folder, and if there are any mails in 2007's data file that you want to move into 2003's old data file you can drag and drop them.

    Probably correct use of migration would have done all this for you, but at least this should resolve your main problem and get you going again.
