I have Outlook 2002 on one PC running Windows XP. I want to move everything
(folders, mail, accounts, etc) to Windows Mail on a different PC running
Vista. Both PCs are connected to a home wireless network. How can I do this?

You have two choices: 1. Install Outlook, prefereably version 2003 or
later,
under Vista. Version 2002 will also run under Vista, but with a few
problems.
Windows Mail needs to use a part of Outlook to be able to understand the
..pst file you would import. 2. Move everything first from Outlook to
Outlook Express on your old computer. Then move it form Outlook
Express to Windows Mail:

When you copy files from Outlook Express to a directory on
your new computer, include the .wab file if you want the contacts.
The accounts will probably have a file extension or their own too.
Before you import these files into Windows Mail, make sure
these copies are read-write, not readonly.
