Outlook 6 to Windows Mail

[Option]

I have 2 computers one in XP and one in Vista
previously I have imported files on to Vista and setup my accounts
however, since my new PC was not used the last 2 months and during this time
I have been using my old PC. So now I want to import all my current
email/account to my new PC. How do i do this as it now doesnt let me do
anything.
can I reset the windows mail some how?

Windows Mail has problems importing messages from Outlook directly.
You have two choices of what to do: 1. Install Outlook, preferably version
2003 or later, on your Vista computer so that Windows Mail can use part
of it to be able to understand the files from Outlook. 2. Import the
messages
first from Outlook to Outlook Express on your old computer, then from
Outlook Express to Windows Mail.

Bring along the .wab file if you want your old contacts. After you copy the
files to a directory on your new computer, but before you import them
into Windows Mail, make sure the copies are read-write instead of
readonly.
