OK. Since I upgrade almost every 6 months and like to keep my stuff; here is what you need to do
1. FOlder Options> View hidden files and folder/system files
2. Run a search for *.dbx files (these are outlook express and outlook files)
Note: If you have multiple identities in outlook express> make sure you mark the identity folder ,
so you know what goes where.
3. If you are running Outlook ,(as already sugggested) just copy the *.pst file and paste it into the later
installed Outlook folder.
Just remember *.dbx files are mail boxes . Make sure to know(if mult ident are being used) where they go and what they have in them. Just right Click and open with>Wordpad. It will seem like a lot of garbage , but just run a search for your email address within the box and if you find it, then you know which identity it is.
.pst files are outlook files, they are easy just replace the one file and boom
