Importing from Outlook to Windows Mail

[Guest]

I have just moved to a new pc and moved all my files from the old system to
the new using the Easy transfer capabilitites of Vista. Both pc's have
vista. On the old system I was using Outlook and with the transfer the new
system is using Windows Mail. I have having problems importing the messages
and contacts from the system using Outlook to Windows Mail.

When I attempt to import to Windows Mail, I get a MAPI error and the import
fails. What am I doing wrong.

To directly import Outlook messages into Windows Mail, you have to have
Outlook installed on the Vista computer, and using the .pst file from your
old computer.
And if you install Outlook, you may as well use it, if it's 2002 or newer.

If you have Outlook on your older computer, why not install it on the
new one? The Office license allows installation on 2 or 3 computers.

What files do I need off the old computer to install Outlook Express on the
new computer?

First you need Windows XP or an earlier version
of Windows..

Outlook Express will not work on Vista.

What files do I need off the old computer to install Outlook Express on
the new computer?

You can't, unless you set up your Vista computer to dual boot Windows XP.
