How can I export my rules from Windows Mail to Outlook 2007

[Vincenzo]

I've upgraded to Outlook 2007 and have transferred all my emails. However I
also want to transfer my rules from Windows Mail to Outlook 2007. How can I
do this?

Thanks,

Vincenzo

I'm not sure what information you're asking for Milly, I'm using Vista and
Windows Mail came with it. I've tried to use Outlook 2007's import rules
option but can't find where Windows Mail has stored my rules, does it store a
Rules Wizard Fle somewhere?

or is there some other way of moving my rules over.

Thanks,

Vincenzo

And Milly was trying to say that, since this isn't a Windows Mail group, you
may not find this answer here. As this question (i.e., "where does Windows
Mail store its rules and in what format will it export them?") in a Windows
Mail newsgroup, like
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windows.vista.mail

Right, I've posted the question on the Windows Mail community as well. Thanks
for the tip.

Just in case someone from that group helpfully suggests I post the question
here - if anyone has any tips here on how I can do this then I'd be grateful.

Many thanks,

Vincenzo
