Vista - Outlook mail imported has data loss

01-11-2008

When I import mail from Outlook XP (2002) into Windows Mail (on a new laptop
running Vista) all of the pictures and most, but not all, of the links are
missing. Is there any way to prevent this loss?

This may be tied in with the fact that Outlook 2002 has significant
compatibility issues with Windows Vista. Upgrading Outlook to a later
version may be the solution as 2003 and 2007 are Vista compatible (you can
continue to use Outlook on Vista, if you care to, and not bother with the
transfer). Otherwise, you can download and run the Office 2007 Trial
version long enough to move your data.
