I'm not sure about the account part of its database, but you can transfer
the messages and the contacts list.

If you want the old contacts list, bring along the .wab file. After you
copy the files to a directory on the hard drive of your new computer,
make sure the copies are read-write instead of readonly before you
import them into Windows Mail.

If this fails to import the old contacts, click on Tools, then Windows
Contacts. If you don't see Import on the toolbar of the Contacts
window, right click on the empty space below the right side of the
toolbar, then click on Customize This Folder, then the triangle,
then Contacts, then Apply, then OK. Click on Import, then
Windows Address Book File (Outlook Express contacts), then
Import, then find the .wab file and click on it. Click on Close,
then close the Contacts window.
 
Just the account information? Sure, you can either copy that
information manually, or you can export it from OE and then
import from within Windows Mail.
