Importing from Outlook.pst into LiveMail
How do I import mails and contacts etc from Outlook.pst on old pc (W2000) into LiveMail on new pc (W7)? I've copied .pst onto new pc, opened LiveMail and selected Import messages, chosen Windows Mail as Outlook isn't listed, changed the path for location of .pst file and then I get a message about "no messages found in this folder" or "another application is running that has folder open" -...select another folder or close application..." Thanks

You cannot read the pst file in Windows Live Mail. You should have imported your data from Outlook 2000 to Outlook Express or exported it from Outlook 2000 as csv files. If you still have the old computer you could do this now. If not, Google for "read pst" and you should find applications which can read pst files and export the data from them. You can then import the data to Windows Live Mail. An alternative is to install a trial version of Outlook 2010, export the data and then uninstall the trial.
