Vista - Windows Mail, Newsreader and Program Compatability

Vista version to use: Home Premium on a new computer.

Windows Mail: I assume that there is an import capability for archived mail,
folders and signatures from OE6?

Newsreader: Same, or similar to, OE6's? Is there such a thing as an easy to
use *subject* killfile in the "new" newsreader?

Program Compatibility: XP had an applet/program that would scan for, and
report on, possible program compatibility problems. I have read about
Upgrade Advisor but have not yet tried it. Will Upgrade Advisor report on
possible program incompatibilities? I am interested in hiccups from Backup
MyPC, Inachis e-Backup (no longer supported), PaperPort 10 and Quicken 2007.
Or should I email the individual companies?

Vista has a backup program. PaperPort 10 wouldn't install for me on either
version (86 or 64) Drivers are definately the problem on 64, I forget the
problem on 86.

Yes, there is an Import Wizard under File menu, it will allow you to import
messages and contacts. Not sure about signatures though.

If that qualifies for the "killfile", you can "Ignore Conversation" from
"Message" menu or create a rule that will delete messages with specific
subject.
