You need to have both Outlook and Outlook Express installed and functional
on the same machine; from there, you can either Import with Outlook or
Export with Outlook Express...I've always had better luck exporting from OE.
If your Outlook Express data files have NOT yet been moved to the new
computer, they'll have to be moved first:
