New Computer - How do I transfer my outlooks contacts, mail, task

[Guest]

I am getting a new computer but I want to keep all of my contacts, old
emails, inbox folders, and tasks. How do I do that?

What version of Microsoft Office/Outlook are you using on your old and new
machine? Reason I ask is that Microsoft Office/Outlook 2003 comes with a
nifty Save My Settings wizard that is very cool in moving over your office
settings from one machine to the next. The only thing you have to remember
to grab manually is the *.PST and *.PAB files.

Note: *.PAB file may not exist since contacts are stored in the *.PST.
Note #2: If moving the PST over on a CDR/RW or DVDR/RW, make sure you stay
under 4x in burn speed. PST files have a nasty habit of corrupting when
burn speed is done at speeds greater than 4x.

PAB files haven't been used since Outlook 2000 AFAIK.....
