You have to be a lot more precise with what you want others spend their time attempting to help you. Andy gave you a correct answer to your question; then you shouldn't umark it as an answer, just because you come up with new premises. Perhaps this is what you need now:

Hey - If I understand you correctly then you may want to export your mail and contacts, etc. on the old computer to a .pst file.
Put the .pst file on a CD or USB key and copy it onto the new computer. You can then import that .pst file into Outlook on your new computer.
You may also export and import your account settings (account name and password, server names, etc.) if using Outlook 2007 (I believe).
There are caveats including exporting and importing between different versions of Outlook. Google "Export to PST" and then "Import from PST" for loads of examples.
Let me know if I'm not understanding you.- Marked As Answer byElvis Wei -MSFTMSFT, ModeratorFriday, November 06, 2009 8:35 AM
