Hi, there must be many people who have moved all their mail from XP on one
laptop to Vista mail on a new laptop. These two computers can see each other
on the network. How can I easily move all history, contacts, folders etc
from one to the other?

Thks

Use Vista's Windows Easy Transfer applet.

Pardon me if I'm wrong but I dont beleive the easy transfer applet can
convert Outlook data on one PC to Mail on another.

You would need, on the Winxp Pc, export your Outlook data to Outlook
Express, then copy the msg store to the Vista PC & import that data into
Mail.
Or;
Set up Outlook on the Vista PC, connect it to your old OL data file, then in
Mail import that data

Admittedly I've never tried Windows Easy Transfer with Outlook
on XP, but I've never seen a caveat that it wouldn't do that.

OL groups, posts from MVP's, specificaly warn against using any transfer
wizard to port OL data.

Are you referring to Outlook Express in XP or Office Outlook? Big
difference...

I only respond to posts on the Newsgroups. If you would like me to handle it
on a one-on-one basis outside of these Newsgroups, my rate is $65 per hour.
I am very busy, so let's not quibble.
