Windows Vista is supplied with a new mail program "Windows Mail" (WM) which is similar to "Outlook Express" (OE). WM uses a completely different method for the storage of the email messages. You may transfer OE mail messages to WM as follows:

1 - install Express Assist 9 (EA9) on the machine running Outlook Express (XP, W98, etc)

2 - make a backup copy of the OE mail folders on the OE machine

3 - copy the backup file from step 2 to the Vista machine (or to some media that can be read on the Vista machine).

4 - install EA9 on the Vista machine

5 - run EA9 -- click "Restore"

6 - locate the backup from step 3 and "open" it.

7 - choose restore option "Restore all email folders for import"

8 - select all of the mail folders

9 - click "Restore Now" -- the program will place a copy of the mail from the OE machine into a folder in your "Documents" folder in Vista. It will also then show a step-by-step instruction on how to import the mail into Windows Mail on Vista.
