Hello Lisi
Windows Mail keeps its files in
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail\
which is usually
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail\
The cunning part is that either AppData is a hidden folder, so you will
have to use the Folders control panel to make hidden things visible first.
Once you've found the files, this page:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Importing_and_exporting_your_mail
says the rest is easy.
cheers
