Transfer personal folders from one computer to new in Outlook

[Stonewall]

I just switched from Office 2002 to a new computer with office 2007. I
normally use an exhange server which is working properly, but i had personal
folders, too that I need to get to my new computer. How can I transfer my
personal folders from one location to the next and get Outlook to recognize
them?

Thanks in advance.

You copy the data files, *.pst with OL closed, copy to a folder on new PC,
I'd suggest Documents folder, then within OL, File>Open>Data
File......browse to the location.
NB these files will still be in pre unicode format, which has a size
limitation. If you want to store them in the new format, then after opening
them, as above, in OL File>New>Data file, then copy stuff from old to new &
close old when finished.
