My wife's computer died.
So now she has a Vista machine with Vista Mail.

I have all her emails from the XP Outlook Express .dbx files

How do I transfer those .dbx files to her new machine.
Or more correctly, where do I transfer them to and how do I get them
imported into her Vista Mail program.

I would suggest that before you do anything that you download Microsofts
Live Mail and use it instead of Vista Mail, it sucks.

Actually she trashed her computer...but I had to fix it. LOL
