Vista Tutorial - exporting messages and contacts

Having migrated my e-mail from outlook to Windows Mail about a month ago, I now find that the functionality of Windows Mail is far less than Outlook. I have a number of problems concerning accounts, and would like to return to using Outlook. Obviously, the Outlook information is still there on my computer - except for the last months messages. Can anyone tell me how to return the mail data back to a form that can be imported into outlook 2003?

Hi,

Having just moved from Outlook 2003 to Windows mail I cannot seem to be able
to get my contacts and pst files migrated/imported into windows mail from
outlook 2003. Any ideas how this can be done?

Regards,

Mohit

Hi Mohit,

That way caused me no problem.... Just use the Import menu in Windows Mail. It's going back that I can't find a way of doing.

client.
Then for messages, in WM do File-Import-Messages-Microsoft Outlook.
For contacts you must export them in Outlook as a CSV File and then import
that file into WM

Windows Mail cannot import a .pst file unless Outlook is installed on the
Vista computer.

You can install Outlook, copy the .pst to the Vista computer, open the .pst
with Outlook, then you can import into Windows Mail.

Or, keep using Outlook, as it's better.

Assuming you have Outlook 2003 installed and setup on the same machine that
has Windows Mail, 'File|Export|Messages' from within Windows Mail to move
emails and 'File|Import and Export|Import Internet mail and Addresses' from
within Outlook 2003 to move contacts; be sure to uncheck the "Import
Messages" checkbox.
