I'll amend what Barry posted.

Have both machines up and running and connected your network. Boot your 
new machine and during the setup dialog it will ask if you want to 
import settings and applications from the old machine.  Answer Yes and 
go make some coffee once it's going.  That's it.

I'll amend that by saying do it at bedtime ... can take a while.

If you don't want to import all your settings/info with the Migration 
Assistant as others have suggested, just export your old mailboxes and 
then import them onto your new box.

Or don't bother. Just start fresh on the new computer and use the old
computer if you need to look at old emails ... you'll probably find
that you never need them (other than perhaps to retrieve someone's
email address).

Apple has a page describing how to do what you want:
