Find your message store and copy ALL your .dbx files and .wab to
external media. Put the .dbx files and .wab on the new computer, say in
My Documents in a folder named Outlook Express Back Up and use
File/Import in OE to import your emails and address book. You will have
to reconfigure any signatures or emails you had on the old computer.

Either that or move up to a better email program like Thunderbird which
is easier to back up and backs up everything except your passwords. If
you're interested in checking out Thunderbird, it's free and can be
obtained at http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird/
