How do I import all MS Outlook settings from old PC to new?

Bought new PC - how do I import all Outlook settings (contacts, folders,
rules, messages, archives, etc.) from one PC to a new one??? Can't believe
I'm the first to buy a newer PC and want to still have access to e-mail &
settings created already.

Copy your .pst file from the old computer to the new computer. Paste it
where you want (My Documents if you back it up often is a good place). Open
Outlook - use File->Open->Outlook Data File (Or Personal folders file,
depending on your version).
