    You need to look this over.

    Another idea. You may wish to use Thunderbird rather that Microsoft mail. Once Thunderbird is on your old machine, it will import from Outlookl Express.

    Also, there are some 'portable' e-mail clients that can run on a USB drive. To move to another machine you just take the USB drive and plug it into another machine.
