I am used to the process you have described, but this is useful to take
individual e-mails and save one at a time. I am still
looking for a process to move the whole inbox .dbx file, and open it using
the Outlook Express (of course, using my own password)..



You shouldn't save messages in the Inbox, but:
In OE on the laptop make a folder named Transfer.
Open it.
Go to Tools | Options Maintenance | Store Folder and write down where OE is
saving its files.
Close OE.
On the Desktop, open OE.
Go to Tools | Options Maintenance | Store Folder and write down where OE is
saving its files.
Close OE.
Go to the store folder with Windows Explorer.
Copy Inbox.dbx to My Documents.
Rename it to Transfer.dbx
Copy it to the laptop and overwrite the Transfer.dbx you created at the
beginning.
Open OE and look in the Transfer folder.

As far as a password, it will have whatever password that identity has on
the laptop, not the one it had on the desktop (if they are different). But
OE being what it is, that provides very little security.
