Migrating to Outlook 2007

[Guest]

Hello,

These days I tested Outlook 2007 to see how it works. While going through
the Import and Export mail options I noticed that Outlook 2007 allows you to
import your e-mail messages from Outlook Express and Windows Mail.

However it allows you to import your e-mail only if Outlook Express and
Windows Mail are installed & configured.

But what about users who migrate from Outlook Express and Windows XP to
Windows Vista and Outlook 2007?

In Windows XP & Outlook Express users can export all their e-mail messages
and settings to a specific folder.

But after they upgrade to Windows Vista & Outlook 2007 how can they import
their e-mails&settings from that folder?

I studied all the menu options in Outlook 2007 and I did not find a way.

Do you have any suggestions?

Install Outlook on the XP machine, import the email, then backup the Outlook
pst file which you can then use when the machine is upgraded to Vista.
