Import messages from Outlook 2007 to Windows Live Mail

I have decided to switch from Outlook 2007 to Windows Live Mail. It's much
better for my needs. But I don't see a way to import my old emails from
Outlook 2007. How can I do this?

Re: Import messages from Outlook 2007 to Windows Live Mail

Are both mail programs installed on the same PC?

If so, under File, Import, Messages, you should have an option of
Microsoft Outlook.

Windows Mail

Re: Import messages from Outlook 2007 to Windows Live Mail

Is Outlook installed on the same machine that Windows Live Mail is installed ?

Is the Outlook pst file present in the same profile that is in use when using Windows Live Mail ?

Can you open Outlook on the same machine and profile that WLM is installed and use it to send and receive mail ?

Re: Import messages from Outlook 2007 to Windows Live Mail

I am seeing the same Import screen with Wlmail 2009 and Outlook 2003. Imho,
so far this is a light weight program only suitable for reading newsgroups.
