    I am trying to transfer my E-Mail Messages from Microsoft Outlook 2000 to Windows Mail (Vista). When I try to Import the Messages to Windows Mail I get the error Message "Unable to load (or find) wab.dll file". What can I do to correct this? I tried re-loading Outlook 2000 but got the same results.

    First off, Outlook uses a file extension called pst

    With Outlook open, click on File, then 'Import and Export'. This opens the Import and Export Wizard. Choose 'Export to a file' then click Next. Choose 'Personal Folder File' here and then click Next. In the Export Personal Folders dialogue box you have your choice of what you want to do. The easiest is to keep the default choice of just the inbox, but if you want your sent items and all the other folders, choose the top item (Personal Folders) and then choose the 'Include subfolders' option and then click Next. Now I suggest you create a folder on your desktop and save the data there. You should then be able to import to Windows mail.

    I don't know yet, I haven't had a chance to try it. But the last time I clicked on "Export" under Outlook 2000, I got the same error message that it couldn't find the wab.dll file so I'm thinking I'll probably get the same thing again. Evidently, Windows Vista won't read the files that Outlook 2000 created because of their file extensions. That is what I am trying to resolve. Thanks
