I'm on Vista and am trying to move my MSMail over to Outlook. I've tried all
the Export & Import options but none seem to work. Any suggestions????

Outlook has to be configured, on the same PC as Mail, then within Mail
export to Exchange

MSMail? Vista has Windows Mail, not MSMail and to transfer your messages from
Windows Mail to Outlook, configure Outlook and then in WIndows Mail click
File>Export>Messages. Select "Microsoft Exchange".

Got it. I exported to "Exchange" and Outlook finally found the messages. I
had to do each folder including the Sent folder separately but it did work.

That should not have been necessary. The entire hierarchy of mail folders
should have been exported to Outlook. (I.e., no Contacts, just mail).
