I was using Outlook Express 6 in Win XP, but now I got a new PC with Windows Vista 
Business, where I want to use Windows Mail program.
I created several mail rules in my previous computer with outlook express 6 which 
I want to import in windows mail in the new PC.
Any suggestion to perform this task will be a great help. Thanks in advance.

The rules are stored in a Registry Key - its fiddly to transfer them but luckily the syntax of the two mail clients is the same in this respect. Instructions about half-way down this_page. Make sure you back up your Registry first.
