Transfer Outlook from desktop to new laptop

I want to reproduce all information from outlook 2003 from my desktop to my
new laptop. I already have copied all my contact info (csv file) to the
laptop. I also have set up my email accounts on the laptop. So, my
questions are as follows (a) how do I create the pst file (I think that is
correct?)?, (b) how do I move or export (copy & install) all the data? (c)
can I copy subfiles (ie internet favorites, saved email) without adding the
contacts already copied? from the pst file? and (d) will copying all this
information mess up the email account that was just set up (on the laptop)?
Obviously, I am looking for the best procedure and knowing what pitfalls I
may encounter. Thanks

Don't export anything but simply copy over your original pst-file to a
folder which is convenient to you.
For instance; (My) Documents\Outlook

Then reconnect the pst-file via;
File-> Open-> Outlook Data File...

Very Helpful! Do I need to be concerned with alterations or modifications that may take place in the new email account just created on the laptop?
