importing from/to Windows Mail

[emdee]

I'm trying to import my old Windows Mail messages after a clean new install
of Vista Ultimate. The Transfer Files and Settings wizard didn't seem to
import the Mail messages from the earlier installation (on another drive).
When I try to Import, I can't find where the old Messages are stored on the
earlier installation and drive. HELP doesn't help. Anyone know where the Mail
messages are stored?

I'm trying to import my old Windows Mail messages after a clean new
install
of Vista Ultimate. The Transfer Files and Settings wizard didn't seem to
import the Mail messages from the earlier installation (on another drive).

the
earlier installation and drive. HELP doesn't help. Anyone know where the
Mail
messages are stored?

To find where your current installation stores them, click on Tools, then
Options,
then Advanced, then Maintenance, then Store Folder. Record this directory
name, then click on Cancel, then Close, then Cancel again. Shut down
Windows
Mail.

I forget how to enable showing hidden and system files, but you'll need to
do
it before searching the other drive for similar directories. When you get
to the
right directory, it will contain mostly .eml files and perhaps .nws files.
Record
this directory name as the place the old files are stored.
