    Hi all
    I am over Windows Mail on Vista, and I want to install my Office 2003 version of Microsoft Outlook. Is there a feature on MS Outlook that can import all of Mail's contacts and emails? Being an older version this may not be possible with Vista's Mail.
    Thanks!

    No idea, but depending how you have your settings on your mail provider, it should work. For example, on my gmail, i have it set to only move mail to the archive folder when i delete them. That way, it will always download them unless they have been deleted.

    You can almost always export and import. I suggest copying off the source to a CD for safe keeping until you have it all into Outlook.

    Export your stuff as a .pst and bring it into Outlook.
