Track down the .pst file on your old laptop and copy it to any location on your new machine. (I would just create a new folder in the root, say 'Mail Archives', and not place it in the default archive directory.<br />
<br />
Then, in Outlook, goto File | Open | Outlook Data File....and browse to the .pst you just copied over. This will add the personal folders to the folder/tree view along the left hand side.
