What's the problem here?
Do I need to install MAPI for WindowsVista/Windows Mail and if so how? Or is
there some other way to import the Outlook.pst file that I exported from
WinXP/Outlook?

You can install Outlook, copy the .pst to the Vista computer, open the .pst
with Outlook, then you can import into Windows Mail.
Or,
If you have Outlook installed on an XP computer, import the .pst data into
Outlook Express, copy the .dbx files and .wab file to the Vista computer,
and import into Windows Mail.

I have Outlook Express 6 on my "old" computer that runs on XP, and Windows
Mail on my "new" computer that runs on 64 bit Vista. How do I get messages
from my "old" computer to my "new" computer. I have tried your
suggestion, but it didn't work. I copied the .dbx files to a flash drive,
copied the files from my flash drive to my "new" desktop, opened Windows
Mail, found and clicked on the Import button, clicked on Messages and OE6,
found the folder containing the .dbx files, clicked on on it. Some of the
.dbx files did not import. Any suggestions?

All you need to do is temporarily install Outlook on the Vista system. You
don't even need to run it or activate it. It can be a trial version, and
you can uninstall it as soon as you're done the import. Borrow an Office
2003 CD for the few minutes, if you can, and uninstall afterwards.
But the import won't work if Outlook isn't installed.
