outlook express stores everything locally in a *.dbx file. It might be hidden so enable the "show all hidden files and folders" and then search you Harddrive for *.dbx files and see what you get. Also, there is a possibility that your info is out on their email server.

just go to File->Export->Address Book, and export away. Do the same for your messages. Copy the files you create to the new PC, and do File->Import->Address Book and Messages.
