The motherboard on my laptop is no longer functioning, so I have created an
external hard drive from the hard drive in my laptop. How can I get my
Emails from that I was able to access using Outlook Express from the hard
drive so that I can import them into another system running Outlook?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
 
You cannot import such backed up Outlook Express files directly into MS
Outlook on another machine, Sandi.

Thanks for the information -- I'll be trying to get my new computer organized
with my old data this weekend.
 
Thanks for the information. I do have Outlook Express on this new system, so
I'm hoping that I would be able to get to the Emails with pictures of my
niece attached -- I am sure I can live without the others.
 
You can!
See the first link Robear gave.
