For Outlook Express, you need to locate and copy the .dbx files for each user profile.

In Windows XP, the path is:

C:\Documents and Settings\{User name}\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook Express

In older versions, the path may be:
C:\Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook Express\{string}\

For older versions of OE, the path is C:\Program Files\Outlook Express

For Outlook, the mail files are .pst extensions.
They should be in your default document folder for Office.
