If I understand you correctly, your need for Outlook 2003 (or newer) is just to get your pst files converted so you can use Windows Live. Having used both I can not imagine why you would want to switch but that is your choice. I assume that you uninstalled Outlook but did not delete the pst file(s) associated with Outlook. If you did and you can not recover them, reinstalling Outlook is a waste of time. Assuming that you still have your pst files, I can think of several solutions:
- try eBay for a used copy of Outlook
- look online for a copy of Outlook2003 (might be cheaper than you think)
- explore conversion programs that will convert your Outlook pst file(s) to a format acceptable to Windows Live. I found several on the web. Interestingly, it appears that some builds of Windows Live do not have Outlook as a source for conversion. If that is the case, you might try converting from Outlook to Outlook Express and then into Windows Live
