Can the rules, you create, be saved off somewhere, so you can apply them to
second outlook on another computer?
Are these stored in the Registry?
 
Rules storage varies based on version of Outlook and type of account. What
version of Outlook are you using?
 
I can't remember if Outlook 2002 offered an import/export of rules. If it
does, bring up the rules wizard and then select the Options button. (I
think you will have to reset the folders where items should be moved to, but
the bulk of the rule should be there if this works.)

For a POP account with a PST as the delivery location, they're stored in the
PST, I believe. The Rules Wizard should allow you to export your rules as
an rwz file, which should be importable on another machine. You'll have to
reselect any folders after importing.
