[Beatkeeper]

Can anyone tell me if crossing over from windows live mail to microsoft outlook 2007 is a simple operation, i have always used outlook express and now use windows live mail as i ahve found this easy to use. But i now have a win mo 6.5 smartphone and would like to be able to sync my pc with phone ie. emails. I have in the past backed up my emails from outlook express but i have been unable to import setting etc to outlook in the past and just gave up, i,m determined to do this and would like some help, i belive outlook 2007 is a superior program(am i correct?) any help would be great.
