As long as your using Outlook on your new pc then it should just a simple case of copying the .pst file from your old machine to the new one and configure outlook to use it.

Assuming that the new PC is running XP or Vista, the easiest way to move everything across ( documents, spreadsheets, photos etc as well as Emails) is to use the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard that MS supply as part of XP and Vista.

You should find it in Accessories/System Tools.
