Default import files from Outlook Express to Office Outlook 2007

I am trying to save all my files/saved e-mails from Outlook Express to a new
computer with Office Outlook 2007. Following the instructions in "Outlook
Help", I get to step #8 which reads "on the tools menu, click Options". #9
then reads "Click Maintenance tab". My Outlook Options menu has NO
Maintenance tab.

How do I import those old files from my old computer?

Then after I copy the message folder from Outlook Express, how do I open it
into Outlook?

Are you moving to a Vista computer or another XP machine? You will need to
move your OE data from the old computer into either OE or Windows Mail on
the new machine. When you have this accomplished, you can then transfer
everything into Outlook 2007.

I am moving from XP to Vista. I am trying to follow the directions in
Outlook Help, but they aren't giving me all the steps. I understand the
concept of what you are saying...but I need ALL of the steps?

OK, instructions for moving data from OE on XP to Windows Mail on Vista are
he

http://www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx
Windows Mail

When you've finished that, use 'File|Export|Messages' from within Windows
Mail to transfer your email, then use 'File|Import and Export|Import
Internet Mail and Addresses' from within Outlook 2007 to transfer your
contacts.
