I am trying to transfer all the folders and messages in Outlook Express 6 to
Windows Mail which is installed on Vista-based computer. However, it seems
like the Windows Mail is different from Outlook Express 6. All the messages
in Outlook Express are saved in DBX format, which is not recognized by
Windows Mail. Is there anyone could help me on that? Thank you.
 
File | Import | Messages

Follow the instructions.

copy all of the OE .dbx files to a temporary directory on the Vista
computer.

then in WM, File -Import - Messages - OE6

Yes. Don't open the last folder that contains the .dbx files.
This will cause a duplicate folder name in the path.
 
When you browse only go down to the folder holding the dbx files. Don't open
it.
It should work then
