I am upgrading from Outlook Express to Outlook, also. When I press
Send/Receive, Outlook brings in over 12,000 emails beginning in April
2005 with only 1 in 2007.

After I cancel, I can go into Outlook Express and get current emails.

How can I prevent the old emails 2005-2006 from coming into Outlook
and receive only current email?

In the mail server, using a web interface, move the messages you don't want
Outlook to download to a folder other than the server Inbox.
