I have old computer with Microsoft's Outlook 2002 and a new computer with Microsoft's Outlook 2003.

What is the best way to copy all the Outlook data from an old computer to a new one...

Thank you
 
Since Outlook 2003 introduced a new Unicode format for .PST files, it's best
to use the new file that Outlook 2003 will create when you first set it up,
and then copy your older data into it. Copy the old .PST file to the new
machine, make sure it's not read-only, then go into OL2003 and click File |
Open | Outlook Data File to open the old .PST. For default folders like
Inbox and Calendar, copy only the items within the folders (switch to a
table view like By Category, select all, and drag and drop). Custom folders
can be dragged as a whole and dropped wherever you want them in the Folder
List.

For other file types you might want to copy over, look here:
