I bought a new laptop in December which had Vista and Microsoft Mail. I ran
into a host of technical problems and Dell has replaced it with a new
machine which has XP instead and hence the e-mail client is Outlook Express.
How do I import my old Windows Mail messages into Outlook Express? Or is
there a way to install and run Windows Mail in XP?

Windows Mail is a Vista only product. However there is a Windows Live
Mail which uses a similar file structure to Windows mail.

But since you already have OE, it's a simple matter to import the
messages. Windows Mail stores the messages as EML files (one per
message) which OE understands. You can simply open OE and then drag the
EML files into a OE folder of your choice.
