Vista - Transferring Email Messages on Easy Transfer

My old computer is XP Home SP2. My new computer is Vista Home Premium 64
bit. I used Windows Easy Transfer to successfully move all of my files and
folders over a home wireless g network to the new comuter. The only problem
is that the email messages that were in my Outlook Express inbox on the old
computer did not move to Microsoft Mail on the new computer. I took a closer
look at Easy Transfer and it seems to indicate that this should happen, but
when going through the Easy Transfer process I did not see an entry that I
was supposed to make that would enable the transfer of email messages. How
do you transfer email messages in your inbox using Windows Easy Transfer?

Hi Ken,
I'm not sure how to transfer them with Easy transfer but you can use the
"Import"
function of windows mail to do it. Copy the MAIL folder from XP to your
computer then Import to Windows Mail. When in the Import Wizzard, it will ask
you to provide the location of the Mail folder. Only go to the folder itself.
If you open it in the Wizzard, it will say none found or some language to
that effect.
