Importing old emails

K

Kurt

I am currently transferring files from an old PC with WIN XP to a new
computer with Vista and Wdows Mail.
I have successfully transferred files and adressbook, however it has not
been possible to import mail. Old mail was exported as a .pst file to an
external harddrive, and I can confirm that the file (55 MB) is on the drive,
but Windows Mail is not able to identify or import the file

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.
