Transferring Mail File

[Karen F]

I want to transfer my email folders from my Windows XP computer to my Vista
computer. The mail folders have a .dbx extension. I found their path
in XP which uses Outlook Express and copied them to a thumb drive but i
can't seem to get the folders onto the Vista computer which uses Windows
Mail.. I found the path of Windows mail and I tried to copy the files to
this folder but that didn't work. I have many emails in a "saved mail"
folder and I really would like to get these emails moved to my Vista Windows
Mail computer. Can you help? Thanks
