We have just updated our computer to one that has Windows mail and want to
import saved messages from Outlook Express on our old computer. How do we
achieve this? Everything we have tried so far has not worked.

I am having the same problem. My old laptop is running XP and Outlook
Express. My new laptop is running Vista and Windows Mail. The Microsoft
instructions make no sense as they require you to open OE on your Vista
machine. I don't have OE and don't think I can even get it for Vista. I
have googled this issue to no avail. I was able to backup my e-mail on the
old laptop, but can't get it loaded on the new laptop. Please help if you
can. Thanks.
