Accounts hosted on Exchange on-premises servers, with third-party email services, or utilizing POP/IMAP accounts will not be able to roam their signatures.
Signatures will now be associated with email accounts. Now that we're storing signatures with the user's mailbox, it is necessary to associate signatures with specific accounts.
Signatures selected as default for New messages or Replies/forwards will be copied to that account's mailbox and be available across multiple devices. Other signatures will not roam, and they will continue to be available locally on the device under the email account "Signatures on this device."
To prevent migration of signatures and disable signature roaming functionality: (regedit or gpedit)

Note: If you "Use Cached Exchange Mode", then there is no need to have Outlook do an automatic Send/Receive (F9).
The classical 65 characters per line is the de facto standard for text-based email newsletters.
With the advent of the Outlook 2003 functionality that automatically removes line breaks from text-based emails, many a newsletter just looks like crap when opened.
And since most people will NOT bother with clicking on "Extra line breaks in this message were removed -> Restore line breaks" the consequence of all this is decreased credibility for the publisher, unsubscriptions, an more than anything else, fewer readers actually reading what you are sending out.
Solutions
Receiving messages
Clicking on "Extra line breaks in this message were removed -> Restore line breaks"
Outlook | Tools (menu) | Options | Preferences (tab) | Email options (tab) | Uncheck "Remove extra line breaks in plain text messages"
Sending messages
Use HTML format (instead of Plain Text).
The secret is all in placing two empty characters (= blank spaces) at the beginning of each line of text. By doing that, Microsoft Outlook 2003 does not remove anymore your line breaks and makes your message look as good as it always should have.
Add a tab character right before the line break at the end of the line (CR, LF).
Send the message as HTML, but use the HTML <pre> tag to tell the renderer that it's preformatted text.
From the menu bar, select Format->Styles & Formatting. -At the bottom of the Styles and Formatting pane, select "All Styles" from the dropdown. -Select all the text in your message. -Choose "HTML Preformatted" from the Styles and Formatting pane.
Make sure you don’t export your .pst file to a OneDrive location. If you have automatic sync, make sure it's not syncing to a OneDrive location. OneDrive will block automatic syncing for Outlook .pst files.

In order to move the IMAP personal folder (*.pst), you have to first close Outlook, then make sure Outlook is not listed in Task Manager, Processes tab, a few minutes after you close it.
Open the profile (Control panel, Mail) and click on Data files.
Select the IMAP acct and click Open Folder to open the folder containing the PST.
Move the PST to the desired location. Do not rename the file; Outlook creates a new file in the default location if you try to rename it—you can only move it.
Switch to the Data Files window and double click on the account’s data file.
Now you’ll get the ‘can’t find’ error which can tell outlook where to find it.
Close the dialogs and you are ready to restart outlook.
My personal conclusion: It isn't worth the trouble.
There is a simple solution:
Exit Outlook. Make a backup copy of the original PST file somewhere else (Windows Explorer).
Start Outlook. Delete the e-mail account in Outlook.
File (menu) > Account Settings > Account Settings > E-mail (tab) > click-to-select the account > X Remove
Exit Outlook
Start (menu) > Control Panel > Mail (32 bit) > E-mail Accounts... (button) > E-mail (tab) > New... > etc... > Close
Start Outlook > File (menu) > Open > Open Outlook Data File > Find the original PST file > etc... >
Move all messages and folders from the original PST file. >
Right-click on this original PST file (that is now empty) > Remove "name of original PST file" >
You may now use Windows Explorer (= My Computer) to delete the original PST file.
My Rationale:
All the messages are still on the IMAP server. (i.e. no messages are lost)
There probably aren't too many old messages&folders to transfer to the new PST.
It isn't nearly as easy as it should be to simply move a PST. It really isn't worth the trouble to try to keep the same PST.

IMAP in MS-Outlook
"I just made the jump from POP to IMAP. When I create my new IMAP profile (getting email from an IMAP account), Outlook creates 2 pst files - one for the IMAP folders and another pst that doesn't look like its being used. This 'other' pst has an inbox, sent items, etc.
"What's worse, when I load/launch outlook, it defaults to the inbox in the non-IMAP pst.
"Very confusing. When I go into the profile, I can't delete the other data file nor can I make the IMAP pst the default pst. Both actions generate error messages.
"This is by design. Outlook create two pst files to save messages for your IMAP account. One is for the local personal folder and one for the actual IMAP mail. The pst for the local personal folder is used to store the local items, such as your Tasks, Calendars, Notes, etc. "

Copy the (old backup copy of your) Netscape mail file (no filename extension) to this folder:
C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\tnz7jmb5.default\Mail\Local Folders\
Don't forget to change [user] to your Windows profile username.
When you open Thunderbird, that e-mail file will automatically show up under "Local Folders".
Copy the messages (drag&drop) to a folder on your IMAP server. (e.g. MyOldNetscapeEmails)
When you open Outlook, you will find your messages in the MyOldNetscapeEmails folder.
