Old Computer - Windows 2000 OE6
New Computer - Windows Vista - Microsoft Mail

I saved all of the .dbx in OE6 (Including Folders.dbx)

-I put all of the .dbx's in a new folder called Outlook Express
-Used Easy Transfer and Copied Them To A Folder On Vista
-I Ensure that the files are not read only (And there not)

-I go into Microsoft Mail And try to import the files
-I select the folder that the dbx's are in

And this error pops up "no messages can be found in this folder..."

I need a Solution
