Was half way there :-) - my original #2 suggestion is the same as your
first suggestion save for the fact that it should have stated the "entire
account" instead of just contacts which I had on the brain when replying
originally.

Will agree though, would never have suggested export at all if I wasn't
just thinking about contacts at the time so gladly stand corrected on
that one.

Only caveat I have about the suggestion to copy the "Entire OE" store is
that that can be a challenge trying to figure out exactly what all has to
be
copied if doing that manually "especially" when there are multiple
identities on a machine or multiple logon IDs etc. However, Outlook
Express Backup (6.5) from Genie-Soft is available free of charge
which may make that an easier process

I've reviewed all the posted topics, but they all have a step in there
that
says to open Outlook Express on your new machine. I have a Windows 7
machine
and Outlook Express is no longer available. So how do I export my
Outlook
Express account on my XP machine to Outlook 2003 on my new Windows 7
machine?

Karl isn't "quite" there! (Sorry Karl!) :-)

You can either install Outlook on the old machine and EXPORT your OE mail
to it, then transfer the resultant pst file (don't import it - do
File-Open-Outlook Data File in Outlook) or install Windows Live Mail on
the W7 machine, copy your ENTIRE OE message store to your new Documents
folder and import into WLM. Then EXPORT from WLM to Outlook.
On the whole I think the former way would be less hassle...
