No, Windows has not mail client and you need to install Windows live Mail and migrate OE to Live Mail.http://explore.live.com/windows-live-mail?os=other1) Outlook Express Backup information:Outlook Express Tips, Tricks and Secrets for Backup and Restore:http://email.about.com/od/outlookexpressbackuphelp/From MS KB: How to back up and to restore Outlook Express data:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/270670/en-usOutlook Express & Windows Live Mailhttp://www.pcdon.com/080113OutlookExpress-WindowsLiveMail.html2) Importing into Live Mail:Credit Bruce Hagen: Transferring data from Outlook Express to Windows Live Mail:For messages:Copy the *ENTIRE* OE message store folder to a flash drive. (Folders.dbx must be included). Place this on the Desktop or other location on the machine using WLMail. Open WLMail and: File | Import | Messages | Microsoft Outlook Express 6 and point to where you saved it.OE Message Store Location:In OE: Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Write the location down and navigate to it in Windows Explorer or, copy and paste it into Start | Run.In WinXP, Win2K & Win2K3, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start | Control Panel | Folder Options Icon | View, or in Windows Explorer | Tools | Folder Options | View.For Addresses:Open the Address Book in OE and File | Export | Address Book (wab) and save it to the Desktop. Copy to a flash drive.
