Hello and welcome........
Err........... what versions of Microsoft Windows are we talking?
Please go into Outlook Express and click on "help" in the toolbar..........the bit at the top...... sorry; I have no idea of your level of computer knowlege
Then try "about".................... you will find your version
Let us know...............

You can find your Outlook Express mails at the folowing location:
c:\documents and settings\%username%\local settings\application data\identities\{all kinds of numbers}\microsoft\outlook express
For every folder in Outlook Express you'll find a .dbx file.
However if you just copy them over to your new pc you won't be able to find them again (as far as I know).
First go to Outlook Express and make sure it creates a profile for you. This way when you go to c:\documents and settings\%username%\local settings\application data\identities\ on the new pc you'll find that it has created a folder for you.
(if you had just copied in your own, it wouldn't have found it)
Copy the .dbx files over the ones that were created by default and *tadaa* there's your mail again!
