Outlook 2002 and Vista

Sorry if this is the wrong area BUT I have Outlook 2002 and since I updated
to Vista a few hours ago it wont remember any of the 26 email account
passwords in Outlook 2002 any longer.

Is there any way to fix this, please? Thanks.

I'm in kind of the same boat here. After downloading Vista I went into
Windows Mail addresses. I then tried to import addresses from my Outlook
Express. It opened up files and locations for me to search and I could find
no shread of my ever even having OE and I know for a fact that I saved my
email addys into a folder in my documents. It's just dissapeared!
Everything else seemed to go great with the upgrade except this.
Any ideas here folks??

Search for *.wab. That's the address book.

Well... gave it a try and came up empty handed. I found my outlook express
while doing a search, but it shows that folder being completly empty. And as
for *.wab files..... absolutly nothing can be found. *sigh* guess I'll have
to re-enter all my contacts by hand and hope that those I don't have written
down someone else does.

Did you modify the search criteria to include "search for hidden files" in
the old system? If not, you may never find the old <username>.wab file or
the backup file with the extension of *.wa~ .
