Is there a way I can copy my folders from Outlook Express to be used with
Windows Mail ?
I copied the folders to the location
C:\Users\Toshiba\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Local Folders,
same location as the standard folders, but the dbx folders (in dbx
extention) do not show in Windows Mail.

Thanks
Rudy
 
It's not quite that easy, because WM uses a different way of storing
messages...
move all of the .dbx files to a temporary folder, including the folders.dbx
open WM, and import from that directory
be careful in selecting the folder, because WM seems to screw up the path
