Moving Outlook Express to new Win2K install

[Overlord]

How goes it all?
Well, I had my C drive go south on me. It took Winders with it.
Played around for a while, tried to repair it, couldn't even boot safe mode.
Finally booted from the install disk to a prompt and chkdsked it, then played
swap the bad sectors in the SCSI bios, and installed a new copy of 2K on the
D drive. Finally, one boot to the new 2K, Winders recovered a lot of files on
the old C drive (in technical terms; a shitload) thus I'm off and running pulling
the critical data to the new drive. I always put a copy of installed progs in an
Install directory of the I drive so I'm good to reinstall all my additional software.

But.... the one thing I'd like to copy over without loss is my Outlook express emails.
In the past this has been a real bear to try and accomplish.
Anyone know a good, or an easy, or an incredibly complex but possible way to
do this?
