iTunes and my cell phone software want MS Outlook files to work with. I am
using Vista Home Premium which uses Windows Mail. Can I use Outlook on my
Vista machine???

Yes. You will have to buy it though.

Microsoft Office Outlook you can, but you can't use Outlook Express that
came with previous versions of Windows. Outlook express was replaced by
Windows Mail. But if you are thinking of Microsoft Outlook 2003 or Office
Outlook 2007 then you can certainly use those.

I only use Windows Mail for accessing newsgroups, any other mail goes
through Office Outlook 2007.

Only Office 2003 and Office 2007 work properly in Vista. Are you sure
that Itunes and you cell phone want Outlook and not Outlook Express? Did
Itunes and your cell phone work with XP?

You'll want to check with the applications in question for compatibility
with that version of Outlook. They aren't all the same.

Beware that there are a few problems with Outlook 2000 on Vista. The main
issue is that it will not store email account passwords due to an outdated
storage procedure, ie. you have to reenter your password(s) every time you
boot up Outlook 2000. Afaik Office 2000 is unsupported on Vista.

What dumbfuçk Frank didn't quote was:

"Because Office 2000 and Office XP are in Extended Support, there have
been no fixes for issues that occur when these products are run on
Windows Vista"

Outlook 2000 has password issues when run on Vista that, as MS says,
will NOT be fixed.

Oh, and I know this because I installed Vista Ultimate and tried
installing Office 2000 Premium and, guess what, Outlook would not
remember passwords!

I stand corrected.

To the OP: Make sure to install all service packs from Windows Update, in
order to receive extended support.

I'm quite certain on mine with Vista and my equipment.

Outlook is the preferred sync. iTunes syncs an iPod with Outlook's Calendar and Contacts when an IPod is connected and the option to
sync is enabled.

The cell phone is dependent upon the cell phone software...my phone and my pda sync with Outlook.

I don't recall ever sync'ing with an address book *.wab file(OE)
