Moving Outlook from PC to laptop and back

Hi All,
I apologize if this is a double post. I replied to a post I found from over
a year ago and could not find my post so was not sure if it worked or not.
I use outlook for everything, including the journal entries. I am going out
of the country on business in a few days and just purchased a laptop. I
uninstalled the trial version of Office 2007 Small Business and installed my
licensed copy of 2003. I run that on both the PC and laptop now.
I would like to know the best way of using outlook on both without losing
anything, without downloading triplicate emails from my server, keeping the
rules I have set up for filtering messages from certain domains to certain
folders, bringing the journal entries etc. My thought was to copy the .pst
file from the PC and paste it into the folder that houses the .pst on the
laptop and just open outlook. But...will that open? Is that the right way?
Will it allow the user profile from the PC to run on the laptop? Then, what
happens when I return and want to resume using outlook on the PC but need
copies of any emails from when I was away or any calendar appts, journal
entries created on the laptop. Also, should I disable the email download
function on the PC while I am away so I don't duplicate the emails in the
profile when I come back? How does this work if I leave a copy of all my
emails on my server after they download so I can access them from anywhere?

Thank you in advance for your help. I have looked through previous posts but
these questions still are not clear for me.
