Transfe/Import (98se) Outlook Express saved emails to Vista computer

[mel drew]

Hi,

I have migrated from a Windows 98se computer to to a Vista based computer. I
have set up my email accounts and imported my address book but cannot fathom
how to import/transfer my archived emails. Isthere a solution?

Thank you Hal.

I have looked at the web page you recommended and found the folders in
C:Windows/Application Data/Identities.
There are five folders, each with a string of alphanumeric characters
(presumably the GUID I have to enter into the registry key.

Problem: I can't work out how to export registry keys. Any advice please?

Also will it be a problem that Vista has combined all my old accounts into
one?

Regards,

Mel
