Hass anyone had trouble importing emails and address book from Outlook Express 6 to Windows Mail in Vista Home Premuim, if so how do you overcome this. OjasYou may be better off not using Windows Mail and installing live mail instead.
This will import all of your OE6 mail and contacts easily
However if you REALLY want to use Windows Mail this might help :

To import from the Outlook Express message store into the Windows Mail message store, do the following:
1. Create a directory under the current user's Documents, such as Documents\OEMail. This directory needs to be within the user's SPACE, such as under Documents, in order to PREVENT possible access permissions problems.
2. Copy all the dbx files from one Outlook Express Identity into this directory, ensuring that folders.dbx is included.
3. Go to Edit | Select all in Windows Explorer and select all the dbx files. Then right click on the selection and choose Properties and ensure that the READ only attribute of the files is unchecked.
4. In Windows Mail go to File | Import Messages and choose Outlook Express 6 format and choose to import from a directory.
5. Then use the Browse button to browse to the directory of dbx files. Make sure that when you set the directory that what is listed in the path is correct (NOTE: Vista can put the wrong path in here sometimes, so instead of c:\mypath it puts c:\mypath\mypath, so check the path to verify that it is correct, and if it is not correct then fix it by clicking the Browse button a second time and then leave the selection blank and clicking Okay.).
6. Then select the files from which you wish to import messages and click Import.

This was sent to me when I had problems and it worked, you have to follow the instructions very carefully

Just so i have this straight... you're suggesting LiveMail over Outlook ? ?

If you mean Outlook Express then Definately YES,
Windows Mail has replaced OE6 and will not allow web based ACCOUNTS, whereas live mail will manage web accounts and pop3 accounts.
It will also imort much better than Windows Mail which has a habit of saying that there are no files to convert or erroneously showing a folder as : "C:\mydata\OE6\OE6 " when the folder was "C:\mydata\OE6"
Also you cannot 'downgrade' back to OE6 from Vista
