I just got a new laptop that doens't have MS Outlook. I want to transfer my
..pst files from my old computer to my new one but it doesn't seem to work.

Does anyone have any suggestions? If Windows Mail won't accept any .pst
files - is there another Mail program that might (for free or affordable
price)?

Thanks.

On the old computer import the messages into Outlook Express. WinMail can
import from OE:

I have teh same issue. Why would MS create a new email manager and not have
backward compatibility with Outlook .pst files?
