Yes. Just make sure that, if you use a CD to copy the .pst file, after it is
transferred onto the new computer's hard drive, you remove the "read only"
attribute. Then, just open the .pst in Outlook 2003.

In this case you are better off copying the pst to the new computer and then
opening it and copying the contents over or importing it via File | Import
and Export ....
2003 has a new file format (although it can support he old format) so, for
best benefit, don't overwrite the existing PST.
Note you might have to rebuild any rules you have.
