Vista/Outlook
"Dean Dowling" <dean63[ at ]gmail.com> 12/30/2008 2:55:31 PM
I backed up my Palm Treo information in Outlook when running XP. Now I am
setting up in Vista. If I buy a copy of Outlook, will it run on Vista? Do I
need to do that?

Yes, although Outlook 2000 won't save your password for you.

If you buy Outlook 2003 or 2007, yes, it will work just fine.

See http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/vista.htm for details on what won't work if you use older versions of Outlook. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook]

Outlook 2000 saves passwords just fine. Outlook 2002 has issues with
passwords.

Outlook 2000 has a problem in IMO mode with the Windows Address Book
(wab.dll) since that no longer exists on Windows Vista.
