Lemme see if I can explain this. I was running XP Pro SR2 using Outlook Express. Along came RC1 (I won't even bother mentioning Beta 2) and Windows Mail to replace Outlook Express.

After upgrading XP to Vista Outlook no longer saves its window size; it keeps opening in a smaller size with the different panes "squished" instead of the way I set them before closing Outlook. In XP, I expect Outlook to open with the various panes, and the main window as I last closed it. Also, the left folder pane is using a larger font size than before and I cannot find any options to...

I'm trying to import messages from my Outlook 2003 message store into Windows Mail under Vista RC2 (5744). I select the desired folders from my Outlook store and the import seems to proceed smoothly.

I am using the new Windows Mail that comes with Vista. The SPAM filter isn't bad, but a few messages get through. Is there a way for me to report the message as being SPAM? I don't want to just block it, I want to help out by reporting it, but can't figure out how, or if I am even supposed to be able to do it. Thanks! Butch

I have a .pst that runs through repair OK but still does not give me the contact info that was there previously. It is virtually the same size so I am sure that the contact info is there somewhere. Is there a separate program that will disect the folder or files inside the .pst into it parts (contacts, calendar, email, etc...) similar to unzip or something like that?
