How do I transfer my emails/addresses from Outlook 2003 to another computer also with Outlook 2003.?

Question

I just got a new laptop, my old one was dying. I want to be able to keep all my contacts, emails, etc. from Outlook 2003 that was on my old laptop and put them on the new one.
Do I just import the backup file? How do I go about doing that?

Answer 1

click file at the top and it has import and export function for both files and address book.

Answer 2

I'm on my old PC at this writing and don't have Outlook, but if memory serves:

Transfer contacts with the use of a flashdrive or other external storage means.

Open Outlook
click Contacts just to highlight
File
Import/Export
Export to a another program or file
export it to a CSV file format (comma separated value)

copy it to a flashdrive

Go to the other PC
open Outlook
In Outlook, click the contacts icon to highlight it

 cl File
 cl Import/Export
 cl from another program or file
 cl Browse, go to the file from which you want to import (name full path)
 cl Map Custom Fields [see your fields on the left, Outlook’s on the right]
 cl the + signs to display additional fields
 cl and drag fields from the left, to the appropriate named field on the right.
 cl o.k.
 The records will read in.
