| | Re: Trans address, contacts and calendar to new microsoft mail and calendar Transferring data from Outlook to Windows Mail requires both programs to be installed and setup on the machine used to do the transfer. Two choices: 1. Install Outlook on your Vista PC. Place your existing .PST in a folder where it will NOT OVERWRITE the .PST file created with the Outlook install. Make sure the .PST is NOT set Read Only. Open Outlook, go to 'File|Open|Outlook Data File' and navigate to the .PST. Open the file. You'll now have access to all your old email, contacts, calendars, tasks, etc.; you can either continue to use Outlook, or import mail and addresses from it with Windows Mail's Import feature. 2. Locate an XP PC that has both Outlook and Outlook Express installed and export everything in Outlook to Outlook Express. Make copies of all your Outlook Express .DBX files (including Folders.dbx) and your .WAB file and place them in a folder on your Vista PC. Use these instructions to import your email from OE to WM: http://www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#oe2wm To import contacts from the .WAB file, double click it and follow the import wizard prompts.
