My wife and I just purchased a laptop. She utilizes outlook 2003 (XP Home) on her home PC and now wants to utilize the same or equivalent on the laptop. It appears that the equivalent is Microsoft Mail.

The Question: How do I move her .pst files to Vista?

I've done some research and all I can find is how to move Outlook Express to Mail. Nothing...I couldn't find anything on just plain Outlook.

I've tried to utilize the import function but it appears that Vista doesn't like .pst files (which leads me into a rant about MS and why they created something that doesn't play well w/it's own software...I digress! ;-)> )

Any guidance would be much appreciated....we all know the saying...a happy wife/mother is a happy house!!!
