Converting to Outlook 2007 & Vista from Outlook Express

[Guest]

My old PC ran Outlook Express 6 on Windows XP SP2. I just bought a new PC
with Windows Vista and want to run Outlook 2007.

Do you have a link that explains how to convert my Outlook Express to
Outlook? The ones I've seen always say you have to export messages, but
when I try to do that on my old system, I get an error message that just
says: "The export could not be performed. An error occurred intializing
MAPI." So how do I fix my old XP to export the Outlook messages? If I
am successful at the message export, where are the newly exported files on
the XP machine, and where do I have to put them on the new Vista machine so I
can import them?

Also, when I try to export the address file, I get a message that "Address
book process has been completed." But I don't get the chance to set a
folder address. So where are the newly exported address files, and where do
they need to be put on the Vista machine so I can import them?

Thanks so much for any help you can provide!

Best regards,

GJ-N

OE & OL have to be on the same PC
In your case you need export/move your OE record store to the Vista PC then
connect it to Windows Mail, once achieved you can export to OL

or on an OE ng or Vista ng
PS Dont import in OL, all your dates will be changed to import date
