    Hi all.
    Outlook Express 2010 has started crashing a lot lately so I am looking to transfer all my mail to Windows Live Mail.
    I have tried import/export and a few different option from the internet but nothing has worked.
    Does anybody know of a way to do this?

    Are you using Outlook 2010? Outlook Express is an ancient piece of software which was replaced a couple of years back by Windows Live Mail. Assuming you are using Outlook 2010 and you would like to import to another client, you'll need to find one that's compatible with Outlook data files, or *.pst files.
    Thunderbird is a good free email client, and can import *.pst files. See here for info on how to.
    If you would like to see if Outlook 2010 can be fixed you could try disabling uneeded addons (see here) and also ensuring it is kept up to date, see here,
