Migration: Outlook Express on old PC to Outlook (2003) on new Vist
I am trying to help a neighbour set up his new PC (Vista Home Premium).
He used Outlook Express on the old PC and wishes to use Outlook 2003 on the new one. How do we move his mail and addresses? I have searched through countless MS articles supposedly talking about migration yet all assume that OE and Outlook are on the same PC!!! I find that astonishing as the time when most people make big software changes is when they set up a new PC. How do we export his mail from OE in a form that Outlook can import? I have located his mail folder and can copy that, but Outlook refuses to import it on the new PC. Are we obliged to migrate via Windows Vista Mail? And what is the best process for that. This neighbour does not have a network, so there is no connection between his old and new PCs. Thanks. |

Thanks, DL.
We concluded that the only migration option was to Windows Mail, and we did it successfully. My neighbour then felt it was sufficient for his needs and Outlook was not necessary. I use Thunderbird in place of any of the MS email clients and so had no experience of moving between the MS products. |
