To import messages from an existing Exchange or Outlook client PST, follow these steps. 1. Open Outlook Express, on the File menu point to Import, and then click Messages. 2. In the "Select an email client to import from" box, click the appropriate mail client, Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Outlook, and then click Next. 3. Click Next, and then in the Profile Name box, click the Profile name from which to import the PST, and then click OK.(as your on a different system and drive, you may have to vavigate to the .pst folder) 4. In the Select Folders box, choose All Folders, or to import specific folders, choose Selected Folders, and then click the folder that you want to import into Outlook Express. NOTE: If you choose Selected Folders and want to import more than one folder, press and hold the SHIFT key and then click each folder you want to import. 5. Click Finish. You can now view messages that were located in your Microsoft Exchange PST or Microsoft Outlook PST in the Local Folders folder in Outlook Express. i hate computers! but cant help myself....

Outlook Express running in Windows 7 - is this possible?

you could boot into the old OS export your files from outlook to a file, and then import, or send all the mails to your account again and recieve in win 7, or copy the .pst files from your old drive to win 7 drive and follow the above procedure..then it should work..one way or the other.. i hate computers! but cant help myself....
