Your problem is that you're using Outlook Express, the buggiest, most
insecure mailer available for Windows, the buggiest and most insecure
OS available for PCs. If you *must* use Windows, switch to a better
and safer mailer such as Pocomail or Eudora, both of which can import
your OE mailboxes and address book.
