Prev: How do I change default font in Outlook?

I just upgraded from Vista to Win 7, and since Win 7 doesn't support Mail, I
need to import my old mail files to Outlook.

Sounds simple enough, but I have a couple issues --

I have several user accounts on the computer, and for 2 of the accounts I
had Windows Mail configured to point to the same folder locations (under the
"Public" folders) so that we could share e-mail. So, the active mail account
was not under either of our own user accounts; and we shared access.

Now, when I try to import the files into Outlook (and I can't export from
Mail, since it's not supported in Win 7!), I don't get a prompt to specify
from where I want to import. Outlook just goes out and finds some mail
files. Now, it does seem to find a whole bunch of mail, but for some reason
it stops at mail I received a year ago -- nothing after 5/09 is imported!

So:
- How does Outlook know what mail database I want imported?

- Why isn't it getting all of the mail?

- How can I specify which database I want Outlook to import, or where to
find the files?

- How can I set up Outlook so that our 2 accounts share the same personal
database? Can I just copy the default database to a Public folder, and point
to it from both accounts (pretty much like I did in Mail)?

Thanks for any help!
