Outlook on the other hand ... I've used all of the methods noted by

Export is the wrong approach, simple as that.

Look in %APPDATA%\..\Local\Microsoft\Outlook. There should be a .pst.
Copy this to the new machine. Done.

USMT/WET can do that for you, and will also migrate application
setting. The .pst is just the data store.

By the way, using Outlook with .psts is a bad idea. If you use
Outlook, you should connect it to an Exchange server.
