How do I transfer messages & addresses from Microsoft Mail to Out.I recently bought a new computer with Vista and installed my Office 2003 with
Outlook. When I had all my e-mail messages and addresses transferred from my old computer, where I used Outlook Express, it was loaded into Microsoft Mail by the person who did the transfer. Microsoft Mail does not have a lot of the features I liked on Outlook Express so I want to transfer all my messages and addresses from Mail to Outlook. I went to Outlook and unfortunately it does not list Microsoft Mail as one of the programs it can import into. Da, Microsoft Mail was not around in 03. Can someone please advise me the step by step process to transfer all my messages and address book from Microsoft Mail to Outlook 03? Thank you very much.

Have you looked at exporting FROM Windows mail? Hello Gordon,
Yes I did. When I went to "exporting" from Windows Mail, the wizard asked where I wanted to export "to", Microsoft Exchange or Windows Mail. Nothing about Outlook.... Thanks.

UNCHECK the mil option, leaving the Addresses option checked. HTH I still don't see why you can't import from Outlook. I would not expect
Windows Mail to be listed, but you should still be able to access the addresses via the Outlook Express path. -- Show quoteRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "O-san" <O***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:A956EE42-4F27-4594-AD63-A4B85E319456@microsoft.com... > Gordon, > > What about my addresses?
