Help!

My desktop has Outlook 6 with Window's XP. My laptop has Window's Mail with
Vista. How do I access all my old email messages on Outlook with Window's
mail? I set up the window's mail account with the same server and email
address as Outlook. I'm confused. Thanks!

Outlook uses a .pst file to store the messages.

But Windows Mail cannot import a .pst file unless Outlook is installed on
the
Vista computer.

You can install Outlook, copy the .pst to the Vista computer, open the .pst
with Outlook, then you can import into Windows Mail.

Or,
If you have Outlook installed on an XP computer, import the .pst data into
Outlook Express, copy the .dbx files and .wab file to the Vista computer,
and import into Windows Mail.

You said "Outlook" but I think you meant Outlook Express (OE).
Those are two different programs. If OE, see:
