I usually copy the whole Outlook Express folder , here is where it is usually located , those sets of # might not be exact but it'll give you a rough idea.

C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Identities\{64010080-98B8-11D6-8BC6-F0C744AC0576}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

After you find your default location (described above), open OE and then Tools, Options and hit the Maintenance Tab. There you will find a "Store Folders" button that let YOU determine where you want all your email saved. I keep mine on an external drive just for data and downloads. Microsoft likes to bury things in the C drive - I like no data or apps on the C drive. :)

as a side note: if your duel booting but want to be able to acces your mail from both OS's you can tell out look to use the same folder.
