Outlook uses the *.pst (i.e.: outlook.pst)and *.pab (i.e: outlook.pab) file types to store the users email data and personal address book date under the Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook path within their User Profile on the local PC. You can manually copy these files from the old location (PC) to the new location (PC). Another option, Outlook has an Import/Export feature that you can use to Export the *.pst file from the old pc to a browse location of your choice. Then, on the new PC Import the *.pst from the saved location and you have your seamless Outlook data transfer. You can do the same for the email Account settings as well; export the account from the old PC, then import the account with the new PC.
