On my old computer I used Outlook Express. On my new computer I use Outlook.
How can I, by for example burning a cd, get my emailmessages and contactlist
from Outlook Express to Outlook in a good way?

Thanks for your answer,

Edwin

Copy the .idx and .wab files from your old PC to a CD. Copy then to the new
PC and remove the read-only attribute. Set up Outlook Express and import
the data into it. Read http://www.insideoe.com/ for details. Then you can
export your mail using Outlook Express to Outlook and import your contacts
using Outlook from Outlook Express.
