Default Copying PST file to new instalation

You didn't say what version of Outlook/Office you are using. For example,
if using Office/Outlook 2003 it is best to use the Save My Settings Wizard
of Office to move over your settings. (It doesn't move the PST, but it will
move over your accounts and settings.)

In any event, the PST does not store your account settings as those are
stored in the Windows registry.

I have just setup a new PC and installed Outlook and I have copied the PST
file from my old PC to the new one. When I open Outlook on the new PC all
my
emails are there but my email accounts are not setup and my contacts are
listed in the contact folder but when I try to select an address when
selecting "To" in a new email they do not show up.
I thought all this data was stored in the PST file and would be copied
across to the new PC, is this not so and if so what do I need to do to
copy
this across as well?



I'm using Outlook 2003
