I think you'd be best off if you asked this question on the blind vista
list.

I'm sure you can export from outlook express (onto something like a
thumb drive), and then import into windows mail, but someone who's
actually done this should be on the blind vista list.

        Hello there,
        I don't know if tihis is an appropriate list for this, but I
really need help from someone who knows what he's doing.
        I was curious about this some time back but wasn't sure what to
do since my XP machine was still working quite well.  Well, now it is
definitely time to make the complete switch to my Del which has Vista.
I've transfered the majority of my files to it and all is good.
However, here is the thing.
        I was using Outlook Express on my XP machine and have set up
Windows Mail on my new machine.  I understand it is basically the newer
version of Outlook Express.
        I have folders with various and sundry emails that I need and
access, and I do have archives there.  I'd like my emails, in their
folders, transfered to my Vista machine.  I have no idea how to do it or
how to begin.  I'm too leery to try anything without asking someone who
really knows what he's doing.
        I've copied all of my DBX folders, which I understand are the
folders from Outlook Express.
        I can also copy my address book to my thumb drive, but I'd like
to import it as well.
        So, with as much specific instruction as possible, could someone
walk me through the best way of transfering this important information
from one computer system to another?
        Please just assume I'm starting from scratch here, no matter how
long I've used a computer.  This is pretty important to me and I want to
do it right.  <grin>
         
        Thanks!
        Jim
