    It can be done, I transferred my father's Outlook Express to Outlook. Not being an Outlook Express user, I do not have the details.

    OE backup works great for me. you can get it here:
    http://www.download.com/OE-Backup/3000-2242_4-10200280.html?tag=lst-0-1

    it will backup address book , emails , account settings all to a .exe file that you can transfer to the laptop, double click and your done! let me know.

    Sharp AL27, Athlon 64 2700+ 60Gb hdd, 512Mb mem, 64Mb vid, superbright lcd. Great choice for business use.

    You can also use the Win XP settings and file transfer wizard. I use it to backup OE, Docs, desktop settings, etc... I forget where to find it directly and usually launch it through windows help.

    First PC = Vic-20, 8" 128KB Home-Brew Floppy Drive ... Current Rig = eMachines m6805 ... Quantum Leap?
