Outlook XP running on XP Pro desktop

I am getting a new computer and want to move my outlook.
I have tried to copy my documents and settings profile to
the new PC but without success. Any suggestions?

Thanks -Ann
 
export your information to a file (go to file>export). Save it to disk and
then open using inport on the new computer.
 
you need to copy your pst to the new computer- don't use import/export. the
pst is here:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

profiles can be moved using the office save my setting wizard but i
recommend recreating them, it's more reliable.

Look at these pages for information on Outlook data backup:
