Downgrading from vista to xp

[self-defence]

Hi,

I was wondering if someone who has had some more experience with Vista than I have. I'm having problems with exporting windows mail emails and contacts. I mean in WinXP the contacts were in address book file and the emails were bared in the user profile and if you formated the system the only thing that had to be done was copy the files over. But I noticed that things have changed in Vista no more addressbook no more user profile bared mail just some strange looking files that I have no clue how to export them to WinXP.
So my question is if someone can help me how can I export emails and contact from Vista back to WinXP.

Thanks for the help and nice day to all.

Bye

First of all you have a mistake in your title, it should say "Upgrading to from vista to XP"

Second of all: look at this article (hope it helps)
