Vista - Exporting from WinMail to MS Outlook 2003

Does anybody know how I could export messages from WinMail to MS Oultook
2003?

I tried to do it in the normal way (File/Export/.../Microsoft Exchange), but
it did not work. I always got the message "Export not possible. Error when
initiating MAPI".
Importing to MS Outlook 2003 didn't work, either. In this case I chose the
option "Importing from Outlook Express", because there is no option to
import from WinMail...

Try dragging an eml file overtop an Outlook message list window open to a
message folder and drop it and see if it will incorporate the message or
not. I don't know if it will work.

The MAPI error means you don't have Outlook installed on the machine you're
using to do the transfer. Exporting or importing between Outlook and either
OE or WM requires BOTH programs to be installed and functional on the
machine used to do the transfer; OE and WM both require Outlook in order to
access .PST (Outlook data) files and Outlook requires OE or WM to be able to
access the data files for these applications (.DBX files if you have OE).
Drag and Drop will not work.
