Slightly OT moving e-mails from XP laptop to HP vista laptop.


I have just bought a new HP1150 laptop which is Vista based, I have copied
everything over without a problem, all files, folders, favourites, all
e-mail accounts but I can't get to move all my e-mails.

I have done as many times before copied them on to a pen drive from my other
PC then copied them in to a file on the new laptop then gone to import
messages, browsed for the folder which its found but it does not seem to
recognise the e-mails which are in "dbx" Is this a Vista v WinXP issue or am
I doing something wrong ?? Its as if Vista does not recognise the dbx files
?

Any help welcome.

Dave.
