Move Outllok 2003 to a new PC

I am setting up a new PC for myself and I need to move Outlook 2003 from my old Win2k pc to the new WinXP pro PC. I know how I can copy the .pst files but I have several email accounts and rules, is there a way to transfer all the account settings so that I don't have to set them all up again?

I am not using Exchange.

To export your rules:
Go to Tools>Rules & Alerts.  Click Options. Click Export Rules.  Move the new exported file to your new PC and use the same process to import them.

As far as exporting your account settings... I do not know of a way.  You will probably end up setting those up again.

Hi,
there is a german programm which can backup all your settings including the account
on www.mobackup.de you can get it!
You normally use the Office 2003 "Save My Settings Wizard" per this article:

OK, before I got it finished, my old HD crashed. I do have a tape backup of the HD. Other than the pst files is there anything I can restore and use? I have already gotten the pst file.
