Only the Outlook Express data files should present any problems as OE is

it can import data from OE files.


Install Thunderbird on the XP machine. It will offer to import all OE
stuff. Copy the profile to the thunderbird installation on the win 7
machine. You will have to amend profile.ini on the win7 machine to call
up the copied profile (just change the reference). Just done it for my
Daughter and found that was the easiest way to do it.
