Try to use the import wizard - as well as for adressbook import. It works
well - but there is a small bug, that prevent you from time to time
importing the outlook express messages successful (the import wizard tells
you that there are no messages found - can't tell the precicse error text,
because I'm using the German edition of Vista). In case that this message
occur, proceed the following steps:
- go one step back in import wizard and check the import path (in most cases
the last folder name within the import path is shown double).
- try to select the import path again using the "browse button" (don't know
the excact name, we have here a Durchsuchen-button). Select the import path
in the right pane of the dialog windows and close the window
- now the import path should be shown in the right way#
- process the import steps as known and Windows Mail will import all
messages in a separate "import" folder.
If that won't suite, maybe an access right issue is the problem. In this
case I suggest to copy all your Outlook Express .dbx-files in a separate
folder of your Public folder and try to import the messages.
Hope that helps
