Default How do I import my mail and contacts from Outlook 2003

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
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\ Outlook.pst
