Need to restore my mail contents from another Mac

Hi All..

I just purchased a new Mac Min and sold my previous Mini. I was running Office 2011 on the old Mini and using Outlook as my mail. Before I deleted everything and put a fresh OS on the old Mini I backed up all my files.

I now have Office 2011 on my new Mac, how to I restore all my mail/mail folders/contacts from the previous install?

I know that their is a folder "Microsoft User Data" in my users/documents folder and that somewhere in there is all my mail messages. I tried just replacing the complete folder with the old after backing up the current and I get a message from Outlook that I can't use this Profile with this version. I'm running the same up to date version.

Regards...

Louis
