How can I move my mail from my Outlook Express account to
my account under regular Outlook? I have OE on a desktop
and want to move all the mail to my laptop's Outlook
account, and can't find the mail folder or .pst file for
OE? Please help, thanks!

You can't do this directly.

Option 1;
On the old computer export from within OE to Outlook and move the created
pst-file to the new computer and configure Outlook to use it

Option 2
Move the dbx-files from OE on the old computer and configure OE on the new
computer to use them. Then on the new computer use export from within OE to
export to Outlook

Thanks !
For some reason I can't find the typical Mail Folder, and
Mail.pst file? I'm using W2k and can't locate the file?
Any suggestions?

Thanks again!

Are you looking for OE's mail store or Outlook's?
