Vista - trying to import .pst files from Outlook 2000 to Vista Windows Mail

I saved .pst files created in Outlook 2000 to an external drive. I am now
trying to import into Windows Mail on a new computer running Vista. I am
getting error messages. Does anyone know how to do this successfully?
thanks!

Well, you have to have Outlook installed and since it's Vista, you need to
have Outlook 2003 or 2007 installed. T

Having Outlook installed has never changed, even in XP It has it's own
import/export.

Best bet, go back to XP and Outlook 2000, import those into Outlook Express,
export the Contacts as a comma separated values test file and then import
that into Windows Contacts.

That or find a program to export it into something Windows Mail will use
(which is few)

Have you tried installing the trial version of Office07 to allow import of office contacts to Windows Mail ?

From what i know, Windows Mail cannot directly import e-mail messages
from a .pst file created by Outlook from Microsoft Office. You should
refer this for proper procedere
