importing outlook pst-files and Mozilla Thunderbird-files into Windows Mail
1. On my old laptop (Windows XP) I first used MS Office 2003, I then
installed MS Office 2007 Student and Home. Before uninstalling Office 2003 I stored some Outlook pst-files (e-mail, contacts and archive files). How can I import these files into Windows Mail/Contacts on my new laptop (Windows Vista/MS Office 2007 H&S). I tried Windows Easy Transfer, but it didn't work. 2. How can I import Mozilla Thunderbird files (e-mail, contacts) from the old laptop into Windows Mail/Contacts on the new one? The wizzard does not give the opportunity to select Thunderbird files. Thanks Wiver |

1. Windows Mail cannot import a .pst file unless Outlook is installed on the
Vista computer. You can install Outlook, copy the .pst to the Vista computer, open the .pst with Outlook, then you can import into Windows Mail. Or, If you have Outlook installed on an XP computer, import the .pst data into Outlook Express, copy the .dbx files and .wab file to the Vista computer, and import into Windows Mail. 2.

Export of contacts should have produced a CSV file, not PST.

Windows Mail will not open PST files - did you try opening the PSTs on the
laptop and "exporting" the messages? (Yes, you'll have to sort it all out on the new PC manually and put in appropriate folders.) "jclipper" wrote in message news "Wiver" wrote: 1.

Hello
I have looked through all the replies and they are a bit too technical for me. Could anyone explain in words of one syllable how to import from Thunderbird to Windows Mail. Well actually if it is possible at all. If not I will carry on using Thunderbird. Pam Mcdonald "Dave" wrote: 1.

If I'm not mistaken, there is an import/export add-on for Thunderbird.
You should probably ask in a Thunderbird forum. Not many Thunderbird experts here. Gary VanderMolen, Microsoft MVP (Mail) "Pensioner" wrote in message ...

Yes, it's possible.
Follow the steps for #2 in my post below. If you don't feel comfortable doing it, perhaps you could get someone to assist you. -- Dave N.
