In Vista, emails are individual eml files that you can drag and drop from
Explorer into an OE or WinMail folder. You can save the eml files from OE
and drag them and drop them into WinMail also.

My OEX program makes it a bit easier to synchronize between the two message
stores. See www.oehelp.com/OEX/

: Does anyone know how to export mail from Windows Mail to Outlook Express?
 
I have the same requirement. Widows Mail to Outlook express on an XP machine.
Even though I put the .eml files in the same folder as the other oe files
they are not recognised by oe. Not surprising since oe 6 keeps its emails in
..dbx files.

Trying to export from WM using MS Exchange always brings up "error
intialising MAPI"

Any Ideas?
 
Do not put the files in the OE store folder.
Drag from Windows Explorer and drop the eml files into the Inbox or a user
created folder in OE.
