You don't have Outlook Express on Vista. You have Window Mail.

Re: Transfer E-Mail

Windows Mail saves email messages as discrete .EML files; copy these files
from Windows Mail's storage folders onto a portable
device or CD, take that to the XP machine, start XP and open Outlook
Express, browse to your portable device or CD with Windows Explorer, then
drag and drop these .EML files into open Outlook Express folders - .EML is
the native file format for OE, so they drop right in.
