Windows Mail

I have Windows Vista Home Premium.

How do I transfer my Windows Mail (Contacts, Messages, etc) from one account
to another on the same computer?

Thanks.

RE: Windows Mail

I'm trying to do the same thing, except that I'm trying to get my windows
mail to open on a new computer. I think we can do it using Imort Identities
under the File menu, but so far I can't get mine to work either. Does anyone
know how to do this properly?

Re: Windows Mail

The easiest way is to use this free third party utility:

http://www.staticbackup.com/windows-mail-backup/
http://www.staticbackup.com/products.htm#swmbf

It doesn't transfer contacts, but you can simply copy the
C:\Users\username\Contacts folder from one user to the other.
