    As far as I know Vista/Windows Mail use to save the emails individually as .eml files. So you can just drag and drop these eml files from your windows explorer to Outlook, Outlook Express or Windows mail to open them. Its that simple. So if you want to move all these from Windows mail to Outlook Express, just copy the entire folder from Windows mail store location to Outlook Express location, that’s it.

    Even I am looking for a similar help. I want to move my emails from Windows mail on Vista to Outlook Express on Windows XP. As per your instruction when I move the folder from Vita containing eml files, Outlook Express is unable to recognize them.

    Please help.

    You don’t actually need to copy/paste that folder to Outlook Express store location. Instead you just need to drop Windows Mail eml files directly into the Outlook Express’s inbox.
