How do I transfer Outlook files from one computer to another?

[Guest]

I have purchased a new laptop and want to transfer my Outlook files from the
old laptop to the new one. The operating systems are different NT to XP and
the Outlook application is the same XP. How do I transfer the Outlook files
from the old computer to the new computer?

Just copy the Outlook data file and configure the new installation to use
it.
The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:
