Can try the usual File Import and see what happens.

I'm going to need that, too, once my part comes to fix my regular system and get off this laptop. I can't even find the 'mail' files on the vista laptop due to "access denied" messages when trying to explore the drive's contents. I would imaging you can take the dbx files, once found, and copy them over... but I haven't tried it yet.

Tools->Options->Advance tab->Maintenance->"Store Folder"

(Windows mail doesn't use dbx file)

I don't see a way to do it. in the export tool it does not offer an option for outlook express.


Edit:
You can export them into a folder then retrieve them in Outlook but not outlook express. Nothing is free with bill gates.
