Extend.dat and Outlook.pst are NOT from Outlook Express, they are from
Microsoft Office Outlook. Extend.dat contains data for Outlook Extensions
(add-ons) and Outlook.pst is the main email/contacts/calendar/tasks/notes
storage file. To import email data from Outlook.pst into Windows Mail, you
must first install Microsoft Outlook, set it up, and connect Outlook.pst to
it. Outlook must be installed because it is the only application capable of
opening and reading a .PST file. Once you have Outlook.pst attached to
Outlook, you can then use Windows Mail's Import function to import your
email.
