Outlook Express - Missing Emails when Imported into Windows Mail

I have Outlook Express on my old XP Pro computer, new computer is Vista with
Windows Mail. I am able to import old messages but the last three months of
emails are missing.

Any ideas of how to fix this problem?

Try export/import again? If there aren't too many just email the ones you
want to yourself - best to do this to a hotmail account you can sync later

If you are sure the messages are actually in the OE folders, and the import
fails, then you can get one of the dbx file extraction programs (see
www.oehelp.com) and once extracted, you can drag the eml files overtop a
WinMail folder and drop them.
