Outlook Express E-mail

My Husband and I had a computer that ran Windows XP, we still have this - we
purchased this new computer that I'm on because we both work from home,
however this one runs Windows Vista. My Question is we shared the Outlook
Express EMail address and I have many important folders there for my
business, why is it that Windows Vista does not support Outlook Express, it's
so much easier for me to get to my folders quicker. I can't import them to
Windows Mail because then my Husband would not have his files. What can I do
to remedy this problem?

Importing your messages from OE won't affect his messages.

Just copy the .dbx files to the Vista computer to a temporary folder, and
import them into Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail.
You will have a copy of what you had on the XP computer.

If they come across as read-only files, you may have to adjust them to
read-write
before you import them.
