move outlook account to new computer

[Guest]

I want to move ALL things in my current outlook 2003 to a new computer. I'm
installing outlook 2003 on the new computer. Do I just move the .pst file,
and that will move all existing mail folders/messages/calendar entries? I'm
thinking that should do it.

The reason I'm asking this before I do it is I have to part with the old
computer before actually having the new computer in my hands. Bad move, I
know, but economics dictate.
Thanks in advance.
