Hello - I bought myself a new computer and want to migrate Outlook from
one to the other.
The "content" (i.e. contacts, calendar, etc.) I was able to transfer by
copying over the Outlook.pst file.

But how can I migrate all the account settings? I found no "export"
functionality. Do I REALLY have to define all that stuff anew??? Or is
there a file or a registry subtree that contains all these settings so
that I can transfer them all in a single swoop?

Recreate your accounts manually. You won't be happy with any of the transfer
Wizards. They don't work.

I know that in 2003 there is a "save my settings" function - not sure if
that was present in 2002. (Start-All Programs-Microsoft Office-Microsoft
Office Tools)

There's no good way to move all account settings between Outlook instances
when you have Outlook 2002. In my opinion, you're better off setting things
up from scratch anyway.
