| vista home premiun | Vista Mail to Outlook 2003 I am using Windows mail and don't like the way it works, especially the autocomplete feature in the address bar. Can I move all my settings, email, etc. to Outlook 2003 and if so how? I am only doing this to hopefully access the auto complete feature that I expect is available in Outlook like it was in Outlook Express. Thank you. Don |

Much easier than transferring to an old Office program. IMHO. |

| | Re: Vista Mail to Outlook 2003 Why not try Windows Live Mail first, to see if it will meet your needs. It will automatically import all your WM emails, settings, accounts, folders, rules, etc. http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (WLMail) "donf" <donf.34ycj2@xxxxxx-mx.forums.net> wrote in message news:donf.34ycj2@xxxxxx-mx.forums.net...

| vista home premiun | Re: Vista Mail to Outlook 2003 I got so used to to the auto complete feature that it is a major inconvenience to go to the To: and have to click on my addressees. I have heard and read on this forum and others that there are many problems with Windows Live Mail. Maybe this was Microsoft's way of forcing this issue. Do I keep my old email address or is it now a hotmail account? |

I've seen fewer problems with WLM reported than for WM, if you look in their respective newsgroups: microsoft.public.windows.live.mail.desktop microsoft.public.windows.vista.mail |

| | Re: Vista Mail to Outlook 2003 Autocomplete works much better in Windows Live Mail than in Windows Mail. You can use any address in WLM; Hotmail accounts are optional (not required). -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (WLMail) "donf" <donf.34yem0@xxxxxx-mx.forums.net> wrote in message news:donf.34yem0@xxxxxx-mx.forums.net...
