Moving your OE files is fairly easy:

Backing Up, Recovering and Restoring OE5/6 Files and Settings

How do I import OE5 and OE6 mail folders?

Once your have these files moved, you can either export from OE, or import
with Outlook; I've had better luck exporting from OE. In either case,
you'll have to recreate your rules.
