Outlook 2003 lacks the ability to export your account settings.

That's the correct think to do.

But only the email account is not export.

The account is kept in the mail profile located in the Registry. You could
try exporting that part of the Registry (it's located at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\{yourprofilename}) and importing it into the
other machine's Registry (if you decide to do this, back up the Registry
first!), but since it takes only a few minutes to create an account, if I
were in your shoes, I'd just do it by hand.
