this link tells you how to go about importing OE messages into Live Mail. It mentions Vista but the process is the same for Windows 7 -

Couldn't tell you anything about alternatives to Movie Maker as I don't use them but this might do:

To replace Nero you can use CDBurnerXP which despite the name also supports DVD burning and both Vista and Windows 7

I have an HP Pavillion P6823W Desktop, trying to adapt from XP, this system only running Starter Windows, Word, Live Mail, etc.
Is there any way to transfer and import my Outlook Express email folders from my Dell into Windows Live Mail?
Also, I don't like Windows Live Movie Maker, less effects than XP's WMM which was also user-friendly. I can still run Cyberlink's Power Director that exported the video into AVI, then in WMM for effects and Producer for editing and burning.
Is there any free download that compare to XP's WMM?
I also lost Nero Express, anything that compares to it and runs on Win 7?
I'm trying to regroup after losing my Dell to lightening recently.
I'd appreciate any suggestions, thanks.
