here’s a start. Better explanations than I could give. start reading.
You will need to convert the old format (Outlook Express) to some newer format (Outlook, Windows Live, Windows mail etc...)

no guts no glory ( remember to back up whatever you will be converting)

not much....good luck.

To transfer, it is done in Windows Live Mail under Import. It will ask you for the type “outlook express” and then location of the files. This is the important part.

You can not just go to the Outlook Express inbox, etc. You must use the location under “Identities”. For example, under the XP local Disk (C:), go to “Documents and Setting”
Then to User Name (like “bob”),
then to “Local Setting”
Then to “Identities”
then to “Microsoft”
then to “outlook express”

Once you have this folder, copy it to a flash drive and insert into the new computer. Then point to this file to import the messages.

Good luck.
