Migrating e-mail folder contents

My e-mail machine has been a Win98 running Outlook Express 6.0. Over time,
I've created many Saved Mail folders with lots of contents.

Is there any way to migrate the content of these folders (with or without
the folders) to Vista's mail program?

(I know that if I had them all in XP, I could do it...but with Win 98, I
don't know of a simple scheme.)

Thanks
 
In Vista ... try ...
"Control Panel"
"Transfer Files & Settings"
Then find the folder where the files are on the source PC (presumably linked
over a network). I seem to remember that there is some issue with selecting
the folder on the source PC whereby the idea is to "select" the folder
rather than double click and open it ... which duplicates the folder name
and makes the transfer fail.
Hope this helps,
James

If you used Outlook Express on the old computer, see
