Importing Microsoft Mail Messages into Outlook Express 6

[SAW]

I bought a new laptop with the new Vista OS and used it for a while. I'd
like to take my mail messages back to Outlook Express on my old laptop. I've
exported my mail messages and copied them to my old laptop and tried
importing them using OE (selecting Miscrosfot Internet Mail as e-mail
program) and received message "No message can be found in this folder or
another application is is running that has thew required files open". How
can I import my MS mail messgaes?

What format did you select to export them with? If you drag them out of WM
on Vista, you'll have .EML files which you can drag back into OE. Note that
you'll probably get a lot more info if you ask in the Windows.vista.mail
group. More info specific to WM and OE is here:

How do I back up my files and settings?
