Hello DL[_3_],

It should work, you just need to search for your "pst" file. Search for
"*.pst" without the quotes. Then install it in control panel under
"mail".


Have you checked compatibility?
Just an FYI for you.

It is always best to check with the software manufacturer FIRST. They
will tell you if they have tested the product and the version, as well
as whether or not it will work with Windows 7.
Check out the Windows 7 Compatibility site: (There you will find out
about hardware and software compatibility.)
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/en-us/default.aspx
There is a pulldown from which you can choose "hardware" and
"software".

There are also some great articles, instructional videos and such to
help with your Windows 7 at our Springboard site:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/default.aspx

In any event a lot of the times, Vista drivers will work in lieu of
Windows 7 drivers, however, it's not 100%!

As stated previously, it's best to have the Windows 7 certified drivers
installed.

Microsoft does have an official Windows 7 Support Forum located here
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/w7itpro/ . It
is supported by product specialists as well as engineers and support
teams. You may want to check the threads available there for additional
assitance and support.

Thanks again,
John M.
