I just got my laptop back from an ASP who had to reload my OS. After
reloading Vista, they copied all of my documents and email back to my
harddrive, but now Windows Mail doesn't see my old messages. I can see the
messages if I browse to them from My Computer. I've tried import but it
doesn't find whatever file type it is looking for. Can anyone help?

Try File | Import | Messages and indicate WinMail 7 format and then point to
the directory. If that doesn't work you can manually import by dragging the
eml files from Explorer and dropping onto a WinMail message list.
