Windows Mail to Outlook Express

[Guest]

Hey Guys,

I have gone from Vista to XP, my mail client has changed from "Windows Mail"
to OLE. I have backed up all of my emails from "Mail" and was hoping to
import the messages into OLE. I am having problems when trying to import them.

I have tried importing them (File > Import) and getting an "file is in use"
error. I have tried changing the message store location as well and it does
not detect the
message store. The emails are saved in *.eml format. I have also tried to
click and drag on the store into OLE and it also does not work. It just
creates a new emails with the attachments.

Is there a way to import these emails?

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks

The eml message files in Windows Mail can also be dragged and dropped back
into machines using OE.
