Fortunately, Microsoft makes this part really easy. The first step is to start Outlook and import all your Outlook Express folders. You will also need this program, Outlook2Mac, which is more than worth the $10 registration. This will require your having access to Microsoft Outlook ( not Outlook Express) if you have any editions of Office, it will have Outlook included as part of it. There's a smoother, albeit more roundabout way to accomplish this: You could try to export to text files, but that's just messy. Microsoft uses a proprietary format that's unreadable by any other application. Unfortunately, there is no way to go from Outlook Express directly to Mac Mail.
