Outlook Express to Windos mail message import error

Hi - just installed Vista & I can't seem to import the messages from Outlook
into Windows mail.
I've tried the file - import - message - outlook route
I just get an error message
"Messages cannot be imported from the MAPI client
An error has occured"

and thats it !

any suggestions ?
Thanks
David

There are some tricky aspects to it, and you have to do it exactly. What
others are finding often is the Browse path is actually inaccurate and has
to be reset, so check that as well.
