I have a Dell laptop that I use to test new software. It is running Win10 and MS Office 2007. I copied my Outlook data file & contacts from my desktop pc. I started Outlook on the laptop and everything appears to be functional. I then started TB then selected "Tools", then "Import" then "Mail". TB opens the "Import" window and shows me 3 options: Becky! Internet Mail, Outlook and Outlook Express. However, "Outlook" is not highlighted and when I click on it nothing happens. Outlook is set up as my default mail client.
