Default (Outlook 2007) Best way to migrate POP3 account info + rules from one computer to another?

No need to use File, Archive - just find the PST your profile uses and copy
it.

What are the two of you still talking about?

To create my PST's, I have to go to File / Archive. This opens a dialog
that allows me to archive my folder structure and all my email items to
PST file. I don't accept that the expression "Archive PST" in this
situation is unacceptable and should open the door to people suggesting
I'm confused or ignorant.

And I am quite surprised and disappointed that you would align yourself
with that side of the debate. You're a MVP. If anyone should be open and
sympathetic to people referring to the expression "Archive PST" when
referring to "PST" files created through the "Archive" command, it would
be you. It's not like I was referring to ZIP files for crying out loud.

Would your time not have been better served telling me about email account
and rules migration, like Diane did?

Little too late now, but thanks anyway.

You're taking offense unnecessarily. In Outlook's parlance, "archive
PST" has a very specific meaning. It is the PST created and used by the
autoarchive process to store items that haven't been modified for a
specified period of time, removing them from the main folders so they
don't take space needed for active work. When you say "archive PST", we
believe that's what you mean and we can't know that you're using the term
in a different way unless you tell us.
