Vista - New computer question

A friend is buying a new computer because the power supply on her old
machine died and she is ready for a new computer anyway. She plans to get a
Vista machine with a Windows 7 upgrade coupon.
If I move the hard drive from her old XP machine and install it as a
secondary drive on the new one, how do I import her emails and address book
from Outlook Express on the old hard drive into Windows Mail on the new
Vista machine?

for e-mail I think u just set up the e-mail in windows mail which all the contacts will be there I think but make sure that the old hard drive is capable to use on your new computer and motherboard. About the old hard drive you will have to reformat it when u want to make it as a external on the system.

Windows Mail (native to Vista) is very close to Outlook Express.

Windows Live Mail may not be an improvement. Before you make that
jump, consider moving to Tbird.

Yes. In my view it is essentially nothing but the latest version of
Outlook Express. Microsoft wisely changed its name from Outlook
Express so people would no longer mix it up with the very different
Microsoft program Outlook. But then they added the new program
"Windows Live Mail" so people could mix it up with that instead.
