Default Migrating - all outlook, .pst, contact, Calendar, and settling

I got a new comuter and trying to find a simple way to migrate everything-
all of the documentation talks about moving .pst files which seems easy
enough but it but what about-

Calendar
Contacts


These folders, as well as all the mail folders, Tasks, Notes, and all the rest
are in that same PST. Transferring the PST transfers all this data, not just
mail.

Settings/Preferences


Some of this can be transferred, such as signatures. Some of it, though,
cannot be transferred. See this for a summary of the files Outlook uses and
their uses: http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.asp

Email accounts


This informaiton is kept in the mail profile in the registry and is not
transferrable. In my opinion, it's best to recreate this manually anyway.
