Outlook Express Question?

Question

I use Outlook Express for my e-mails (not the Microsoft version but the one that comes standard on most computers) I have hundreds and hundreds of e-mails from business contacts that I need to be able to save. So, for each person I have a folder in outlook that I save all the e-mails in. When I need to save them to disk, I manually transfer them (drag and drop to a folder for each person on my computer)

So my questions are:

1). Is there a way that would be easier to save all my e-mails over and get them on to disk rather than doing it all by hand?

2). When I get a new computer, is there any way to have these folders automatically created in outlook so I don't have to create a new one for each person again (this would also apply to my address book)

It seems to me like there would be a way to do this, I just have no idea how.

Thanks!

You should be able to export your individual folders out to a single file with extension .pst. When you get a new computer, bring up outlook and import the .pst files and it will become folders in outlook. Hope this helps.
