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


Both contained within the individual pst files.


Settings/Preferences
Email accounts


This depends on your secret version of Outlook....

Is there asomething out there that will just move transfer the whole lot?


No.

To add to the confusion I have 3 separet profiles


Whatever you do - you will have to re-create the three profiles.

See here for more detailed info:
How to backup and restore Outlook

http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/backupandrestore.htm
http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...771141033.aspx

There is out-dated information on some of these pages, specifically with
regard to Outlook 2003 and 2007.

The main points to note:
1. Do NOT use the import/export function to move Outlook data from one
version to another - all you need to do is to copy the pst file, with
Outlook closed.

2. Do NOT paste the copied pst file into the default location - paste into
(for example) your Documents folder and then do File-Open-Outlook Data File
within Outlook.

Thanks
