Once you have transfered the saved .PST file to the new system.
Use the Export/Import wizard,
Go to File menu, navigate to Open, and click Import:
Follow the wizard to import your previously saved .PST file.

Also, if a straight copy over to the new machine does not work (always has for me), go to the old machine, make a copy of the PST file, find SCANPST.EXE in the Outlook Program Folder and run SCANPST against your PST file. It could have errors. Make a copy of the PST first.
