I understand TB can directly import .eml messages and folders when they are exported correctly, but Windows Mail in Vista has no export facility. And the third-party TB add-on ImportExport Tools doesn't even list Windows Mail in its import window.

The first line of TB's "Switching from Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail to Thunderbird" instruction page is a showstopper because it says: "In order to export messages from Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail to Thunderbird, you must export messages from the Windows application and import them into Thunderbird." How does one force Vista Mail to export mail so TB can import it?

I have never seen the vista mail. But I have seen dialogs like this in my copy of windows live mail http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/90298-windows-mail-messages.html Don't you have them in Vista?
