For rules, in Outlook click FileImport and ExportImport INternet Mail and
AddressesNext. Select Outlook Express. Uncheck everything but Rules.
Click Finish. Be aware that not all OE rules can be imported. Some do not
exist in Outlook, such as the rules that selectively avoid downloading.

As for the Blocked Sender List in Outlook Express, that's kept in the
registry at key
HKCU\Identitied\{large number}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook
Express\5.0\Blocked Senders\Mail\Criteria\000, 001, 002, 003, and so on, one
enter for each sender address. Conceivably you could export these keys and
then edit the result with Notepad to remove all but the addresses, then
import the resulting file into the Outlook Blocked Senders list, but I think
that 1) the Blocked Senders list is virtually worthless for eliminating junk
mail, if that's what you're using it for, because spammers don't reuse
addresses and 2) it would probably be less trouble to reenter the addresses
by hand than it would be to go through what I described for editing the
list.
