Well, I'm giving it a whirl. E-mail is working fine. In the end I moved my 
mail folders from my old computer to Outlook Express on the new one by 
simply copying them onto an external disk. The only restriction seemed to be 
that I could only move the *contents* of a folder, not the folder itself, so 
I had to create folders on the external disk, and the only flaw was that 
there was no indication on the imported files to show which e-mails had been 
answered.

Mozilla was easy to download, and it asked on startup whether I wanted to 
import all the folders from Outlook Express, so I just said yes and hey 
presto!

I can't seem to set up a newsgroup account, though; there doesn't seem to be 
a field for entering my username and password...
