I have decided to use Windows mail instead of outlook 2007 because every few
days I get the "restrictions prevent opening of the links etc". and have
great difficulty in regaining function.
I have successfully transferred my messages and my contacts. I have
exported in the "rules" for mail to a thumb drive, but I cannot for the life
of me import them into Windows mail.
Is there perhaps the way of importing the message rules from Outlook 2007 to
Windows mail?



Assistance will be appreciated.

Can't be done. The message rules for the two programs are not
compatible.

FWIW, that "restrictions" message usually comes from problems with your
default browser settings: See if this page helps:

"This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this
computer."
