Importing Contacts Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 to Windows Mail

On my old PC I had Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 (dansih version) and I now
bought a PC with Windows Mail.

I want to transfer Contacts and Personal files.

How can i do this, for example by the use of an external hardrive?

Export your messages from Outlook 2003 to Outlook Express on your OLD
machine. Copy the OE .DBX files created by the export to the new Vista
machine and import them. Export Contacts from Outlook to a Comma Seperated
Values (.CSV) file, copy the file to Vista and import with WM. You can also
install Outlook 2003 on Vista (it runs just fine under Vista), move your
..PST file, connect it to Outlook on the Vista machine and go on about your
business.
