This is what I would do. First download Thunderbird and install it on
the machine with OE. During the install, it will ask you if you want to
import OE stuff. It will import your accounts, address book and email
messages. Find the Thunderbird folder under Documents and Settings and
copy all that's there to an external flash drive or hard drive. Install
Thunderbird on the Vista machine. Replace what's in Thunderbird's folder
under documents and settings with what you copied from the old computer.
You're done except for passwords.

Pam,

To import into Microsoft Outlook (2007 specifically), I don't know which version
you have, I am sure they're similar enough though;

From the menus select (click);

File | Import and Export...

This should prompt you with the 'Import and Export Wizard'. You will have a list
of options on your import request, choose;

Import from another program or file

Click the next button.

You will then be presented with another prompt titled, 'Import a File', select the
Option Outlook Expresss 4.x, 5.x, 6.x,...
Import your emails, account settings,....

I don't think you can run OE from Vista, it comes with Windows Mail, I am sure you
can import into Windows Mail from OE import options in a similar fashion.

Hope this gives you an idea.

Bad advice. One should always export from OE to OL.

Vista comes with Windows Mail, which is essentially just the new version of
Outlook Express. Their giving it a new name was a good step in my view,
bcause it takes away the common mixup with Microsoft Outlook that many
people had.

Yes, but since I haven't used Outlook Express for mail in many years, I
can't tell you how to do it. Either wait for someone else to answer your
question, or find the answer yourself with a Google search.

And then them came out with "Windows Live Mail", just to make sure
there would be more confusion in the future :-)

File -> Import

All you have to do is get the OE folder onto, or accessible to, the
machine you want to import to.

Alas, you're right that some confusion has been added back.
