What I can transfer all data from old MS OUTLOOK to new Windows Mail, from
one old computer to other new?

Thanks!

You have two choices:

1. Install Outlook on your Vista machine, connect it to the .PST files, and
import into Windows Mail. You could continue to use Outlook on Vista, but
you'd need to upgrade from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2003 or later as Outlook
2000 has compatibility issues with Vista.

2. Take the .PST files to an XP machine that has both Outlook and Outlook
Express installed, import the data from Outlook into Outlook Express, take
all the resulting .DBX files to the Vista machine and import these into
Windows Mail. Use these instructions to import your email from OE to WM:
