You can export from Outlook 2000. Use the Import/Export wizard and export to a .PST file

File > Import and Export, export to Personal Folders File (.PST) and follow the Wizard. To import into XP, follow the Wizard and you can usually accept the defaults.

Also, if you're on an Exchange server, you can leave your mailbox alone, in most cases, and just export your Personal Folders to a .PST file. Your mailbox is stored on a server and will remain intact. Just create a new profile on the new box.

Hope this helps. Any other questions, just drop a line.
