Importing my old Outlook Express mail in to Microsoft Mail

#1 25-05-2007

In Mail I'm trying to import Outlook Express mail from my Windows XP 64 bit
OS to Mail in Vista. Import feature doesn't see old mail. If I try to switch
to a different folder Mail complains that folder isn't empty. With XP when I
re-installed OS I would simply point Outlook Express to my email folder and
everything was restored.
HELP! :)
Thank you,
John

Many thanks, I'll study that later. Pity it has to be complicated, it worked
just fine before.
