Import from Outlook PST to Windows Mail

Bought a new laptop with Vista and Windows mail on it. My old computer had XP
and Outlook. Saved the PST file, copied to new laptop and in Windows mail
tried the file, import mail option. Then I choose the Outlook format, but
immediately receive an error message telling me that importing from MAPI
clients was not possible - an error ocurred.

So I never even get to the part of choosing a PST file.

There is no help or explanation. Someone have a tip? Or do I have to buy
Outlook on the new laptop as well?

Re: Import from Outlook PST to Windows Mail

Install Outlook > Import the PST file into Outlook > Import the Outlook data
into Windows Mail.
