Windows Easy Transfer (WET) supposed to do the job.
It did not.
I have Vista RC1.
What steps should I take to import my email account settings, all messages
and selected newsgroups?

Right now going from RC1 to RC2 and up is not going to work very well. The
database design has changed between the two.

You can recover the messages by searching for *.eml and dragging them into
another Windows Mail or OE version folder. The account settings are stored
in the individual .oeaccount files. see

The newsgroups themselves will not import. You'll have to set them up
again.

Other information is stored under these registry keys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\IAM

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Mail

but these are still also in transition, so don't expect them to be the same
between RC1 and RC2.
