Vista - "finding" Outlook

Is there some special trick to make Windows Mail see that Outlook 2007 is
installed in terms of importing the mail account settings? If I try to
import the messages, it worked flawlessly but when I clicked on import mail
accounts and settings, I got a prompt that it found no other e-mail programs
on the system. It just doesn't make sense that one area of WM sees Outlook
and another doesn't or am I missing something?

Export from Outlook first, then import the exported file.

This is a new one on me. I've exported mail and calendars but have never
heard of a way to export mail accounts. I can't find any way to do it.
Might you enlighten me?

Look on the accounts dialog. It's been under your nose for years (IE5 I
think).

Outlook Express has a such a feature -- Outlook did in Internet-Only
mode (which ceased some versions back, I believe either 2000 or XP was
the last to have an Internet-Only mode)

Current versions of Outlook do not.

Insert something clever here.
