Outlook has to be set up on the Vista PC, within Mail Export (Exchange)

Re: move existing windows mail to outlook 2003

With Outlook installed on the Vista computer,
In Windows Mail, export to Microsoft Exchange format, it creates an
Outlook.pst file
located in
C:\Users\"username"\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook\

open this .pst file with Outlook.
