Best way to move Oulook Express messages

[Craig]

I need to move my address book and inbox messages to new
machine with Outlook 2003 and XP professional. I don't
have a network connection, so what would be the best
method.

Any help, greatly appreciated.

Clarify your post. Subject says OE. Message says Outlook 2003.
Which is it?

One way would be to burn the mailbox and address book files onto a CD. You
could also move all the mail to an IMAP server then redownload them on the
other computer and just move the address book on a floppy or whatever is
lying about.

To clarify; I am currently using O.E. and want to move
everything to new machine, which will be using Outlook
2003. My problem, when I export the address book from
O.E. I get a .wab file that I cannot import into 2003?

No can do. These programs are completely unrelated and do not support each
others' formats.
You would have to migrate your OE data from one installation of OE to
another (ask in an OE group if you don't know how). Once you do that, you
can then import directly from OE into Outlook.
