Default How do I import OE6 messages to Windows Mail on Windows Vista?

I just bought a new laptop with Windows Vista on it and am trying to bring
over all my old E-mails from another PC running XP. I had no trouble
importing the address book, but I copied over the directory with all the
different OE6 e-mail folders onto the new laptop and when I run the import
routine in Windows Mail it says there are no relevant folders in this
directory. I can see all the dbx files sitting there when I look in it with
Explorer. What's the trick that I'm missing?

Make sure you put them in a folder in your User Profile and that they are
not Read Only. See the section on importing OE messages into Windows Mail
