Can any one tell me the procedure to move my Outlook Express folders to a new laptop. Can i send that folder through mail or transfer that folder from any storage device.

Choose Tools -> Options. Select the Maintenance tab and click the "Store Folder" button. You can periodically save a copy of that folder on a CDROM or pendrive transfer that folder in to new machine. Sometime, the email is stored on the server, and thus you don't need to move anything, just "reconnect" with the new machine.
