transferring settings

Recently I bought a new computer with XP. I transferred my settings and
files from Outlook after loading the same version on the new computer --
Outlook SP-3 v. 9.0.0.6627.

But there are now differences to what I see. I'd like to change a few
things. For example,

*On my old computer (Win98), when I opened the address book and searched for
my "Me," I found three entries, each with one of my three email addresses.
On my new computer I find only one entry that I need to go to
Tools/Actions/Send mail to and then pick one of my names.

*On my old computer, I may have a contact entry that doesn't have an email
address. In such cases it does NOT show up in my address book. But on the
new computer it does.

*Under both Contacts and Address Book, the menu options are different, even
though it's the same program (though I may have updated the program my
downloading Office updates from MS.) Why is that?

*Under the win98, when I went to the address book and then tools/options,
an "Addressing" box came up that allowed me to choose from "Show this
address list first," "keep personal addresses in" and "When sending mail,
check names using these address lists in the following order". Contacts
were in all three. I can't even find that box on the new computer under XP.

Any help would be appreciated.

Since 9.0.0.6627 is Outlook 2000, do you have it installed in different
modes on each PC? In other words, is it IMO mode on one and C/W mode on the
other? Help>About will tell you.
 
I've never noticed before but...

On my new computer, it says:
Microsoft Outlook 2000 SP-3 (9.0.0.6627)
Internet Mail Only - Security Update

On my old computer, it says:
Microsoft Outlook 2000 SP-3 (9.0.0.6627)
Corporate or Workgroup - Security Update

There are a number of differences in the way Outlook works on my new
computer. My original email detailed some of them. Another example is that
when I open my address book and type in a name and hit return it finds the
name. In old Outlook I could hit return and it would be pasted into the To
line. But now I must use the mouse to highlight it first. It's a small
thing but inconvenient. IS there a way to change that?

This was supposed to mimic Outlook Express in many respects and was intended
for POP/IMAP accounts.

This was intended for Exchange accounts.

Nearly all of which are explained by IMO.
