Windows Mail to Outlook Express

[eebee]

I have 2 machines, one running XP and the other, Vista, in 2 different
countries. I am trying to keep the emails I send and received identical on
both machines. For emails received, I just keep a copy on the server and
download to both machines, so that's not a problem (clumsy, not manageable.)

For emails SEND: say I send 200 emails from the Vista machine in Windows
Mail, and they are stored in the Send Folder. How do I painlessly get those
200 emails across to the Send Folder of the XP machine? The 2 machines have
different versions of Microsoft Outlook so I can't go via Outlook (and it's a
pain that way anyway.) And of course, when I send, say, 300 emails from the
XP machine (Outlook Express), how do I get them across to the Vista machine?

Thank you.

Drag the messages from WinMail to a flash drive. In the other machine open
OE and drag from the flash drive to an OE folder.

I have the same problem (migration from Windows Mail to Outlook express).
I've already made like this (dragging). But ther's an obstacle:
When you drug several emails to a folder Windows asks for overwriting the
emails with the same thread, considering they have the same name.
And Windows gives you just 2 options: overwrite or not do anything...
In this way you should rename each mail after dragging, that means to spend
months in that (I've 5 years of emails to move).
Any other solution?

No. Apparently the date is getting changed somewhere in the process.
