Moving Opera Mail to a New Computer

At the moment I am using Opera 9.25.  I will consider upgrading once I
get the current task accomplished.

The computer I have used for a long time is so old that it is still
operating on Windows 98.  It will probably break down sooner or later,
so today I bought a new computer which has Windows XP Pro installed
on it.  Once I get a little more familiar with XP I will try to move
over applications and data.  (Along with the computer I bought "Windows
XP for Dummies.")

I still have the setup executable for Opera 9.25.  All I really need to
do is transfer my bookmarks (I have a lot) and mail.  At present Opera
is a secondary mail agent for me, although I am using it more and more. Unfortunately I am not a "heavy" computer person, and I am unsure just
how to get my mail transferred over to the new machine.  Would it be
sufficient just to copy over the C:\Program Files\Opera\Mail\ directory
and all its subdirectories, or do I need to do something else?

Any pointers or tips will be greatly appreciated.
