Is MS Outlook installed on the Vista machine? (You cannot import OL
data into Windows Mail.)

I never try this before (I only once imported messages from WM to WLM.)
To my understanding : to import messages from MS OL to WM ---
Open WM > FILE > IMPORT > Messages > choose MS Outlook > NEXT.
Am I wrong ?

If OL is installed on the Vista machine, no, you are not wrong.
