Re: import accounts from outlook 2003 for live mail

Have you exported the account information to IAF files in Outlook? Look
in Outlook at File, Import and Export

Once you have those, in WLM look in Tools, Accounts, Import.

Re: import accounts from outlook 2003 for live mail

Windows Live Mail, Outlook Express and Windows Mail(Vista included) allows export to an iaf file and import to WLM.

The only place in WLM that accounts(only *.iaf) can be imported is Tools/Accounts/Import .

Outlook 2003 and later does not export to an iaf file format. Outlook stores messages and accounts in a *.pst file format.
If Outlook is installed on the same machine as WLM, WLM can import Outlook Messages for all or selected Outlook folders.


You will have to recreate the accounts manually in Windows Live Mail.

The last iaf export capable Outlook was Outlook 2000.
