I have just bought a new computer running windows vista premium. I have
networked it to my old one so I can share files and internet. I want to get
my outlook express messages onto my new computer how do I do this? I have
done the setup wizard to create a new mail account using the same email
address as the old computer has, but I can't find it on my new computer. It
is registered on the new computer but does not seem to open up the account I
have set up .. help?

If you used Outlook Express on the old computer, see

Seeing how many messages there are about this topic, I encourage Microsoft to
create their own tool to assist people moving from an old XP computer with
Outlook Express to a new Vista computer with either Windows Mail or Outlook.
 
They did, and it's included with every copy of Vista.
When you first run Vista, the Welcome Center screen comes up,
which among other things has a link for "Transfer Files and Settings."
You can use that link, or go directly to Windows Easy Transfer, which
is found under All Programs, Accessories, System Tools.
