importing mail folders

[JB]

Am new to this forum so please excuse me if I am asking a common question or
(hopefully) a simple one...

I had my old pc that has outlook 2007 on it and the new pc without it but
with windows mail...is there anyway to transfer my mail folders and their
contents to the new pc using windows mail. I tried the common way outa
outlook 2007 but win mail does not seem to recognize the file.

Thanks so much for any direction. I really need those folders.

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.
