Someone posted this page for instructions to covert OE mail to Windows mail: http://www.vista4beginners.com/Migra...o-Windows-Mail

Just watch carefully the screen when specifiying the folder that contains the dbx files. The instructions talk about "double nodes". They mean folder names. So if your files are in C:\Outlook Express a "double node" would result in "C:\Outlook Express\Outlook Express". When that happens backup a node so that it specifies the folder name correctly. Once I did that WM found my messages.

to select folders, it cant locate e dbx thou its right there! i've moved e
file such only 1 node left...
