I had the same problem and eventually went to Microsoft Tech Support and as
no surprise they wanted $85 per episode per question whether it worked or
not. Obviously I wasn't going to pay that so spent the better part of
4-hours searching the internet and came up with a company who developed a
program for transfering Outlook Express files over to Windows Vista. They
have a trial program which will handle one email at a time in order to see
that it works. After trying it, I bought the full program for I think $29.95
but I had over 1200 emails at stake that related to three different email
accounts so this was my best option. When I wrote them, they sent this.
DBXTriever will help you extract emails as eml format files from dbx format
files. When you have eml files, you can drag/drop them into your Outlook or
Windows Mail's folder like this video showing:

emails again.
