How to import mails from another computer?

I'm installing a brandnew Vista Home machine and like to import all e-mails
from the old Vista Home computer (both on Windows Mail). The old computer
has gone south, but there is an image (on an external hard-drive) of drive
C: and on mounting that image, I'm having access to all files. Don't know
where to search and how to proceed that "import" of all e-mails and all
addresses (no newsgroups).

Yeah, but then you have potential issues in the registry.

All the settings such as message rules are in the registry as are the
default accounts.
