Outlook Express is not part of Office, its a component of the o/s
Both Outlook Express and Outlook have to be configured on the same PC, then
in Express you can Export msgs to Outlook.

If the new Laptop is Vista it uses Windows Mail, then you have to copy your
Express data store to a location on Vista (eg documents) then in Mail import
express files.

Then you can export Mail msgs to Outlook (export to Exchange) As before
Outlook has to be configured.

If the OS is vista he cannot use OE, but he can import the mail. What
client does he want to import the mail into? Outlook?

It's easy to do this, but you need the complete folder with *all* the DBX
folders; and it needs to be on read/write media, not on CD.

Just a note, Outlook must be installed to do this, but you don't have to
activate or even run Outlook. You can install a trial version or someone
else's copy, perform the export, then uninstall it.
