I had the same problem. I installed Windows Live with the option to
only install the Mail component. Once you install it and run it,
Windows Live Mail will import the Windows Mail automatically. Once
that is complete, hit the 'alt' tab on your keyboard to view the
standard toolbar bar. Click on 'File --> Export --> Messages' and
then follow the same procedure as Windows Mail. It worked for me.
Copy them to the XP machine and then create a new folder such as
oldsentitems in OE and open it so it shows an empty message list. Open the
old sent items folder from Vista and select an eml file and drag it overtop
the empty OE folder message list and drop it. You will see it gets
incorporated into the folder. Once you get it working, you can drag all the
eml files at once and drop them as long as they are only eml files that you
are dragging and dropping. My OEX program (www.oehelp.com/OEX/) will let
you do this import from a directory with a single button click instead.
