Thank you for your answer yesterday.
But it did not worked.
Then on readind oehelp.com/backup.aspx i have found out that i have not
backed up the three registry keys needed additionally. I assume that this is
a problem. Is there still a chance to transfer my emails from Windows vista
ultimate to windows vista ultimate ?

I had re-install Windows Vista Ultimate to my computer and i had backed up
Windows Mail before this instalation. I am trying to tranfer my emails to the
newly installed system.
 
You can try going to Tools | Options | Advanced | Maintenance | Store folder
and find the current location of the message store. Then close WinMail and
go to that directory and move everything out of that directory so that it is
completely blank with no subdirectories. Then copy your backed up message
store into that location and make sure the files are not marked read only
(as they would be coming off a CD). Then start WinMail and see if it then
picks up that message store.

Otherwise you can try File | Import | Messages.
