Can anyone point me in the right direction for importing data from my old
Outlook 2000 into the new Windows Mail?

Thanks
 
I've reviewed a number of the posts below and run into 2 problems. Having
installed Outlook on my Vista computer, I've tried to open the old .pst file
and nothing happens. Then when I try to import or export files, I'm told the
WAB DLL file is missing. Copying OUTWAB.DLL to he new computer didn't help.
 
Thanks. I checked out the website you gave me and while that explained the
problem somewhat to me, it didn't really help my dilemma. All I really want
to do is retrieve the address book and existing emails from my old Outlook
file and import them into Windows Mail. I don't need to continue using
Outlook on this particular computer. Unfortunately, I don't have a computer
with Outlook Express to try that export/import route.
 
You have to set up Outlook and conect it to your existing data file, before
you can retrieve your old mail
Your outlook address book is I believed contained in the *.wab file on your
old PC
