| | Re: opening Outlook .pst file within windows mail or vista The only way to directly import a .pst file into Windows Mail, is to have Outlook installed on the Vista computer. You could install your old version of Outlook to do this, or download the trial Office 2007 and install Outlook from that. Or, on a computer running XP and Outlook, import the Outlook data into Outlook Express. Copy the OE .dbx and .wab files to the Vista computer and import. -- http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview "Wendy S Foulks" <wendy.stroble@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:uGITA5FYIHA.4696@xxxxxx Quote: > I have a data transfer file from my old and now dead computer that > includes Microsoft Outlook mail personal folders and mail. > I am unable to open the .pst file with any existing extension or program > offered by vista.

| | Re: opening Outlook .pst file within windows mail or vista After I download and install Outlook from Office 2007, does that mean that I still have to buy a copy of office that I did not want in the first place? How do I transfer my mail from WinMail back to Outlook? Obviously this is an inferior product and assumptions were made that it would only be used by kids writing quick notes, like Hotmail. I have over 200 email addresses in my PAB file that I can no loger get access to along with some very important emails in my PST files. Yes, more than one. Can anyone help?

| | Re: opening Outlook .pst file within windows mail or vista If you downloaded a free trial copy, it will run more than long enough to assist in the transfer and you can decide not to buy it. Microsoft wants you to buy Outlook enough that they don't add too many features to Windows Mail, or their new email program, Windows Live Mail. Windows Live Mail can connect to Hotmail; Windows Mail cannot. http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview "Kenaso" <Kenaso@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:71AAFA4E-6C3F-4663-BBA8-7575BA421B61@xxxxxx Quote: > After I download and install Outlook from Office 2007, does that mean that > I > still have to buy a copy of office that I did not want in the first place? > How do I transfer my mail from WinMail back to Outlook?
