I have created a new Windows XP account and I want to transfer the the
Outlook email files from the old logins to the new login.

I have copied the Outlook pst files from the old accounts folder to the
new accounts folder, but when I open Outlook the mail contents are
there but it seems that Outlook does not remember the old email account
details. Is there a way to transfer the email accounts details as
well?

The previous email accounts are still there with the original mailboxes
in the old logins, only the email account details not coming over.

It appears that they are not stored with the mailbox .pst files

Eventually I want to place the Outlook mailboxes on the file server so
that staff can get the emails even if they change workstations.

Is there a way to get the email accounts to move as well?
 
Make sure Outlook is closed. Copy the .pst files. Right-click Outlook until
you get New Profile under properties. Enter the info. Then point it to the
moved .pst file(s).

It's finding the new profile link that varies. What I told you works for
Office 2000.
