Import Outlook Addresses into Windows Mail

Can I do this? I have my Outlook PAB file on a flashcard from my old computer
which had Outlook. My current computer has Vista and Office Home and Student
and doesn't have Outlook. I have a hunch the answer is no. But I can hope
someone has a brainstorm.

Thanks

No, Outlook is required somewhere on some computer.

It's not anything from WinMail or even Outlook Express but the way it was
developed by the Office Outlook team.

Best thing to do would be to open it in Outlook (as another profile) on a
computer, export the Contacts as a Comma Separated Values text file and use
that to import into WinMail.

Thank you, that's enough to change my outlook. Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Hate to be the "bear" of bad news.
