Is there any way to convert Outlook (the .pst) to Windows Mail so I can have
access to all of my old email? Or is there any way I can view my old
Outlook email?
 
Windows Mail cannot import from a .pst file unless Outlook is installed on
the Vista computer.
1. Install Outlook on your Vista computer
Copy the .pst file to the new computer
Open the .pst file with Outlook.
In Windows Mail, File - Import - Messages - Microsoft Outlook

For contacts:
Open Outlook.
File - Import and Export... - Export to a file - Comma Separated Values
(Windows)
Next
select "Contacts"
Next, etc.

Open Windows Mail.
File - Import - CSV (comma separated values)
locate the file saved above, etc.

Or- keep using Outlook, as it's probably better than WM

Are you sure about that? In the description of the software:

I don't see any mention of a mail program.

Click to expand...
I doubt if you'll find much. Apparently, Microsoft expects
you to just buy another copy of Outlook.

However, there's a group called OpenOffice which makes
a free Outlook replacement that includes the ability to
import .pst files into their format.
