Try File | Import | Messages and choose OE6 format and then point to the old
message store. See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4 also for OE help.

The account settings are in the registry in XP, but in .oeaccount files in
Vista, so its not an easy thing to do. Some have reported success with IAF
files (from OE, Tools | Accounts | Export and then in WinMail, Tools |
Accounts | Import), but I haven't tried it.
