Exporting to OE 6

[Derby]

I need to export a portion of my Windows Mail folders from my vista desktop
to a different compter which is running Outlook Express 6. Elsewhere on this
site I found how to move contacts over and that is done.

The instructions for exporting the emails (and folders) that I found told
here said: file/export/messages. I did that and came up with a folder that
had inbox and sent folders, each with the appropriate subfolders. The
instructions said to drop this into OE. How do I drop the folders into OE.
I tried drag and drop into the email folder panel in OE and directly onto the
inbox but got an error message saying this could not be done but offering to
make a shortcut -- not what I wanted.

I also tried moving the folders to the outlook express folder on C:\ to no
avail.

Any help will be appreciated.

Drag & drop individual EML files or a group of same into an open OE folder.

Thank you ever so much, PA Bear. It is working beautifully. I have to
create the folders before transferring the emails but that is fine with me.

Isn't there an easier way ?
I've given up on Vista so want to come back to OE/XP.
Thanks, Bubey
