Default Moving from O/Express to Outlook? Compatibility?

I'm updating from a Windows 98SE machine using Outlook Express v. 6 to
Windows XP Pro.....and would like to use Outlook as my main mail client.

Is there a utility or any other method whereby I can migrate all my old
Outlook Express emails and folders (with attachments)... (not too concerned
about address book) into the latest version of Outlook? ...or are the 2
totally incompatible.?

Thanks in advance for any direction you might give.

Configure OE in WinXP with your old data store. Once you got OE working you
can use File- Export from within OE to export to Outlook.
