Export Outlook 2003 to 2007

[pedruid]

I have Outlook 2003 on my desktop running XP Home and wish to copy my emails from it to my laptop running Vista Home and Office 2007.
Please help as I have exhausted my searches (or don't understand) what I have found on Google. I have installed Easy Transfer on both Pc's.

I'm assuming you're connecting to POP mail accounts, not Exchange.

Do you want to copy them one time only, or have them maintained in-sync on an ongoing basis? If the former, you need to simply copy the PST file over, and open it. If the latter, you need a synchronisation product; I don't know of decent free ones, but SynchPST for Outlook works well and is decently priced.

Go into Outlook 2003. Click the File Menu, then Import and Export. Select Export to a file. Select it as the pst type, I've found this is the only one that properly stores mail. Next select what folders you want to export. Click next, and then Browse to where you want to save the file, a flash drive for example.

Follow the same procedure in Outlook 2007, but select Import from a file, and select the type as PST. Locate the file, and click next. Select which folders to import from, and wait while Outlook imports it.

Hope this makes some sense
