Hmm... wondering how they did it.  Outlook Express' mail format 
is undocumented and people have had a hard time reverse-engineering 
it.  Apparently, the Mozilla team succeeded. Afaik, Outlook is 
actually easier as you can access the contents via COM, such is not
the case with Outlook Express and yet Mozilla seems to be able
to import the messages easily.

Time to peek in the source!
