If you want to back up all aspects of Windows Mail, including
account settings, rules, etc. use this free third party utility:

http://www.staticbackup.com/windows-mail-backup/
http://www.staticbackup.com/products.htm#swmbf

It does not transfer contacts, but you can easily copy and paste
the folder C:\Users\username\Contacts.

Is this the exact same procedure for transferring from a Vista with Windows
Mail to an XP with Outlook Express?

No. I'll defer to one of the OE experts to answer that question.
Downgrades are usually more problematical than upgrades.
