Help - Transfer Outlook Express to Windows Live Mail

I have couple of questions about transfer to Windows Live Mail -

1. For PC#1. - I have my mail account and couple of Hotmail accounts
on OE. As I loaded WLM, it has transferred everything from OE to
WLM, including the 'Message Rules' for Mail. I was surprised but
happy.

2. For PC#2. - Similar to PC#1 my mail account and couple of Hotmail
accounts were active on OE. As I loaded WLM, it did not transfer
anything except one Hotmail account. Took me sometime to load the
individual accounts and the news groups, but the 'Message Rules' for
Mail need to be re-constructed one at a time. Question - Is there
any
simple way to transfer message rules from Outlook Express to WLM ?

Appreciate help and comments.

As far as I can tell, the only time WLM imports messages rules is on a
fresh install when it imports everything from OE. Sounds like it
started to do that and ran into a problem.

The rules are stored in the registry for each and appear similar.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{GUID}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook
Express\5.0\Rules

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\Rules

I did notice some version fields that have different values between OE
and WLM. And there may be other differences.

Thank you for the info. I have gone through OE rule transfer
through the registry. I was under the impression that WLM
will update the process. Apparently no update on that.
Thank you again.
