Now that I have Win7, I need an email program. I want one as much like outlook express as possible. Ideas?

Thx, folks...

I have my old emails in Outlook Express on my old Raptor HD w/ XP which is still in the case. What's the easiest way to get these emails over to the new Intel SSD w/Win7-64?

Depends on the application. Converting Outlook anything to anything outside Microsoft is nearly impossible. This is why I stopped using Outlook for my personal mail long ago.

If you use Windows Live Mail, if it doesn't import the messages automatically, try this.

Thunderbird: Import from Outlook Express

I switched from Outlook to Thunderbird by first importing the messages to Outlook Express as an intermediate step (as suggested by the link). The conversion was straightforward and I've been happily using Thunderbird for years now. I have never looked back after leaving that proprietary format.

Thunderbird is my recommendation. i've done that import from outlook express too and it works.
Also, there is a calendar addon called lightning which works very similarly to outlook.
