Can some kind person please run me through how to transfer my contacts,
e-mail and account settings from Windows Live Mail (2009) to Outlook 2003?

WLM seems to be happy to export mail in two different formats (which do I
need?)to export contacts as a csv file and and to produce iaf files for
the
accounts. But I'm not having any luck in persuading Outlook 2003 to
import.
For the mail, I can't find the folder where it's supposed to be located.
For
the accounts Outlook 2007 doesn't even ask me to point it to the folder
where
I put the iaf files - it just says it can't find them. Am I supposed to
put
them in a particular folder?

The only reason I am reverting to Outlook 2003 is because I want to
synchronise with a PDA using Win Mobile 6 and nothing will work unless the
desktop e-mail client is Outlook (apparently). I was quite happy with
Live
Mail, and have had bad experiences of Outlook (& Outlook Express) getting
the
e-mail file corrupted.

Thanks
