I'm not familiar with XNK folders, but here's what I often say about
transferring from Outlook to Windows Mail:

Windows Mail has problems importing directly from Outlook. You have
two choices: 1. Install Outlook, preferably version 2003 or later, on
your Vista machine. Windows Mail needs to use part of it to understand
files directly from Outlook. 2. Transfer first from Outlook to Outlook
Express on your old machine. Then transfer from Outlook Express to
Windows Mail.

Bring along the .wab file if you want your old contacts. After you copy
the files to a directory on your hard drive, but before you import them
into Windows Mail, make sure the copies are read-write instead of
readonly, as some copying methods make them.

Also, Windows Mail sometimes has problems importing directly from
an external device, instead of from the hard drive.
