Two choices:
1. Install Outlook on your new Vista PC. Place your old .PST file in a
folder on your Vista machine in a folder. DO NOT OVERWRITE the .PST file
created with the Outlook install. Make sure the .PST file is NOT set Read
Only. Open Outlook, go to 'File|Open|Outlook Data File' and navigate to the
..PST file. Open the file. You'll now have access to all your old email,
contacts, calendars, tasks, etc.; you can either continue to use Outlook, or
import mail and addresses from it with Windows Mail's Import feature.
2. Place the .PST file on a PC with both Outlook and Outlook Express
installed and move everything from Outlook to Outlook Express. Make copies
of the Outlook Express .DBX files (including Folders.dbx) and your .WAB file
and place them in a folder on your Vista PC. Use these instructions to
import your email from OE to WM:

To import contacts from the .WAB file, double click it and follow the import
wizard prompts.
