Windows Mail Sharing Outlook Contacts
Posted by admin on Jan 24th, 2007
I am migrating from Office 2000/XP Pro to Office 2007/Vista. I imported my Outlook and set the imported data files as my default. All worked fine. I want to be able to have Microsoft Mail share the imported Outlook contacts, as I've done on my 2000/XP machine. Can this be done? Please tell me how! As an aside, not having Mail support hotmail is a disappointment!

As can be seen from this "Community", this is going to be a great inconvenience to many, and to myself its serious enough (for one business I use Outlook email, and for another business I use OE, and I synch to a Treo) that I now have to see if I can return this Dell computer and get XP installed instead of Vista. Why Microsoft would remove the facility for a single Contacts database shared by its 2 own proprietary email applications is beyond me, especially when Microsoft's done all that development replacing OE, thereby encouraging people to use both programs. And why abandon people that pay for Hotmail by no longer providing any email client that can synch with Hotmail? Aside from some search facilities, and no doubt some security improvements, Vista is more appearance than substance; it is more restrictive and in many ways has less to offer than XP.Of course Vista is going to be very hard to avoid. My prediction is that it is going to aggravate the consumer far more than it is going to impress them."Frank Saunders, MSMVP OE/WM" wrote:

Perhaps I can use Outlook for all my email. I have my Outlook Express history saved as both .dbx and converted to .eml files, in year and month, sent and received, folders. Is there a way that I could set up an additional account in Outlook (which I was using OE for) and keep those saved emails in an always visible archive that I could click on from the Personal Folders Menu, the way I do now in OE?I followed the advice of someone from this Community who advised that I could use Outlook as a client for my Hotmail. I tried it and I note that the Hotmail Personal Folder is kept separate and I can just click on it and I switch from the current account to that. I take it that this new account would appear and operate the same way, so the issue is all these archives."Frank Saunders, MSMVP OE/WM" wrote:
