Moving outlook data + accounts to another PC

[Jay]

I want to move my Outlook data, email accounts, and rules to a new PC.

The old PC has Outlook 2000 + Windows 2000. The new PC has Outlook 2003 + Windows XP. Neither will
use Exchange server.

I know that you can copy over the outlook.pst file, but presumably this won't hold my email
accounts. Also, I vagely remember that simply copying over the pst file can damage the profile.

Be aware if you wish to use the OL2003 format pst you will need to create a
new pst and copy data from old to new.
Accounts stored in the registry and not transferable (settings that is)

This seems like a bit of a limitation. Can't I copy something in the regestry?
