Moving Outlook between Workstations

I decide to change my computer for a newer model. However, I have a great number of contacts in my Address book and tons of mails, which are important to me. I don't know how to do that. Is there any way for moving outlook express files between computers or workstations?

Of course there is way for doing that. You cannot do that manually. You should go in your old Outlook express and export all the mails. Save them on your CD or flash drive and copy them on your new machine. Then in your new Outlook express use import option and point to the directory where you copy your old files. That will do the job with mails. For Address book, you should search through subfolders of Document and settings folder for a file, which is called by your user name and has wab extension. Copy that file on your new machine over the existing file and that will do the problem with moving contacts.
