I belive that I am having the same diffulty as Tina in that my Outlook 2003
pst files aren't being accessed when copied to a Vista Window Document file.
The same is true when I copied the Outlook folder to Vista.

Does anyone know how to make this work or is this something I need to get a
technican to fix?

Thanks

You have two choices: 1. Install Outlook, preferably version 2003 or
later, on your Vista computer. Version 2002 also runs under Vista, but
with a few problems. Windows Mail needs to use part of Outlook to
be able to understand .pst files. 2. Transfer the messages from Outlook
to Outlook Express on your old computer. Then use these instructions
to transfer them from Outlook Express to Windows Mail:

Bring along the .wab file if you also want to transfer your contacts
(address file). 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.
