Just loaded 'Vista' to my reformatted computer. I saved my Outlook Express
folders (In-box and Out-box etc) and Address Book to CD for reinstating to
Windows 'Mail'.
I've imported the address book OK, but how do I import the folders ....Help
please!

Default importing address book

Unfortunately, Folders/Groups neither import nor export. If you have access
to the old WAB file on your earlier computer, you can move all contacts from
the various folders/groups into the Shared Contacts folder and then you will
at least have all the contacts. See this link for more info about the wab
file: http://www.insideoe.com/files/wab.htm

Make a new folder in your Documents folder. Copy the DBX files, including
Folders.dbx to that new folder. Remove the Read Only attribute. Now use
the Windows Mail File | Import.
