The real question is do you save your mail to personal folders?
If you do then all of your mail is in a .pst file on your machine and you can simply copy the pst file to your new machine and link it back up with Outlook.

I don't remember exactly where in OL2000 to determine it ...but in OL 2003 you go to tools\e-mail accounts and you can see if there is a pst file there.

You can also look in OL and see if it says Mailbox at the top or Personal Folders at the top.
