    Exporting Email accounts from Vista to Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express

    Hi

    I am using Vista Home premium 32 bit and i am using windows mail for all my emails. I also have office 2007 with Microsoft Outlook.

    Problem is that i want to use microsoft Outlook but i can't transfer/export my email accounts from Vista Windows mail to Microsoft Outlook or even outlook express for XP. I have forgotten 3 critical passwords so I cannot recreate the email accounts in Outlook....

    How can I export my email accounts to microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express from Vista Windows mail??? please help.

    Thanks

    Hello again kapilkaaiser,
    I think you need to import the required info into Outlook 2007 -

    In Outlook 2007, click File > Import and Export > Make the appropriate choices
    > & hopefully the Import / Export Wizard will oblige.

    Post back with your results.
