I have done this too many times, that it happens to know the exact path (enable hidden files as some folders are hidden).

Note: if you use non-English Windows then the file names will be at that language, eg eiserxomena.dbx for Greek, of course in Greek spelling. The easy way is to seach for inbox.dbx and you should find it. All you have to do is browse to the folder and copy all the files included there to another folder.

All the e-mails in Outlook Express are stored in a specific folder in files such as inbox.dbx sent.dbx etc. To make sure the original dates are preserved, we are not going to export the e-mails, but rather copy the original files directly from the appropriate folder. I haven't noticed the e-mail dates changing when doing all these imports, they remain the original, so there is no problem sorting the e-mails later.Ĭreating a backup of the e-mails in Outlook Express at the old PC: Then you can just use Windows Live Mail, or if you prefer Microsoft Outlook 2010, you can also import the Windows Live Mail e-mails directly and use them in Microsoft Outlook.

So you just install Windows Live Mail in the new PC (not necessary for Vista, use Windows Mail) and import the Outlook Express mail folder from the backup (I'll tell you how to backup it). Windows Live Mail (former Windows Mail in Vista) is part of Windows Live Essentials and can import Outlook Express e-mails directly from an Outlook Express account or from a backup. However, it can import Windows Mail (Vista) or Windows Live Mail (Vista, 7, 8) e-mails. In newer Windows (Vista, 7 and 8) there in no Outlook Express and there is no way to install it, so from Microsoft Outlook 2010 you cannot import Outlook Express e-mails directly as it will complain no Outlook Express mail account found to import from. Other solution is to find an app in Windows Store but I guess none of us wants that.Well, I am a computer technician and I do this often for customers upgrading from XP to Vista, 7 or 8.

I disabled the Internet Explorer 11 (under Windows's Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off). I had to do dig deep and ended up with a non-pro solution.

Windows 10 + Chrome: I envy the ones that figured that out.
