OK, apparently I'm a dummy...
I did a file export from Outlook 2003 to a .pst file prior to installation of RC1. I installed to a different drive so I wouldn't screw up my XP Pro installation (just made the primary drive secondary and my secondary primary). I would like to import my mail and contacts from the .pst file I created earlier (it's still where I left it by the way) but the new Windows Mail in Vista doesn't seem interested in playing this game. Could someone tell me precisely what I have to do - all my old files and such are still present... Thanks for the assistance - Thanks, |

I think you have to have Outlook installed to import into WinMail.

copy your old pst to the default store location of your new office install
