I foolishly used Thunderbird for a few days and now I wish to switch to
Windows Live Mail. I exported the individual messages that I needed from
Thunderbird into eml files. Now, how do I import those into Windows Live
Mail or Outlook Express 6?

I am using Windows XP SP3.

If they are eml files, you should be able to drag them into an OE folder.
Preferably a user created one.

You can simply drag individual EML files into an open OE folder.
Alternately, you may be able to import the Tbird data into Eudora Pro or
Light (up to v3.0) and then import the Eudora data into OE.

If you have EML files, you can open Outlook Express (OE), Windows Mail
(WM) or Windows Live Mail (WLM) and drag the EML files into the message
list pane for the desired folder.

OE does not have an import option for EML files other than the drag and
drop as mentioned above.

For WLM, if you have a folder tree of EML files, you can TRY file,
Import, Messages, WLM and see if the if it likes the exported folder
tree from Thunderbird. If it does, then look under Storage folders,
Imported Folders for your imported messages.
