How do I import outlook contacts/messages to windows mail?

[Rallf]

After replacing my computer, the VISTA mail feature did not allow uploading
my outlook contacts nor any mail folders. I can see my old HD, however, when
I try to run programs it requires the original program to be reinstalled. I
tried to change the boot sequence so that the new machine would boot from the
old drive, however, that did not work. I have never located a .pst file
relating to either roadrunner.com or adelphia.net even though I had saved
lots of mail.

Rallf,

Try reading this: http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.asp
You must search in hidden folders to find the pst file. On the new system if
should decide to install Outlook, place the pst in a folder within
Documents. It will get backed up when you back up Documents (depending on
Vista version)

Charles:
Thanks for the reply, however, being fairly new to Windows Vista (yesterday)
it appears to be masking the files. I looked further in the file, but no
answer. May have to resort to repairing my old computer and reinstalling the
hard drive to get my old mail.
