Vista - WLM email and folder Import problem

I am trying to import email in Storage folders from Windows Live Mail on XP.
to Windows Live Mail beta on a Vista machine. I have selected several
folders at once from a disk. Everything looks normal in the process of
transferring the email and each folder processes sequentially. But, when I
look for the folders, they are not to be found. I looked under every folder
in the folder pane. There are two Imported folders (under a Storage folder
group), each with Storage folders, but they are empty. Do I need to manually
create the receiving folders? I tried going back to try moving a single
folder and got a message “No messages can be found in this folder or another
application is running that has the required files open.� I closed all
applications then restarted WLM, but the message was the same. I tried with
a couple of folders on the off chance that one might actually be empty, with
the same result.
After rebooting, I tried to import a single folder. I get: Windows Live
Mail Import, Location of Messages “The location of your e-mail messages could
not be determined. Please select the location of the messages that you want
to import. Then, after clicking Next, I get the “No messages can be found in
this folder or another application is running that has the required files
open.� I am able to browse messages on the disk without any problem. I had
also clicked on the “make new folder� button and there was no apparent action
from that.

Did you use WLM's File/Export/Messages on the XP machine and export to a required blank folder ?

Where do the messages reside on the XP machine ?
- email account folders and/or subfolders
- Storage Folders and/or subfolders

Winston,
Yes, I used WLM's File, Export, Messages, Microsoft Windows Live Mail to a
new folder.
The folders I am trying to move resided as folders in Storage folders (not
in sub-folders).

You wish to 'move' the folder or import the messages in that folder.
