How to move old pc Outlook email to new pc Windows Mail ?

emthree · Sep 11, 2008

Hi,

I need to move my Outlook 2003 email on a XP machine to Windows Mail on a new Vista machine.

I exported the archive.pst and backup.pst files from Outlook on the old pc to a flash disk but I can't seem to import them into Windows Mail on the new pc.

Any suggestions on how to solve this is appreciated.

Personally I would what Hal Hostetler suggests :

Transfer your email and addresses from Outlook to Outlook Express on the OLD
computer. Copy the .DBX and .WAB files created by the transfer to the new
Vista machine and import them into Windows Mail. This page should help:
