Cut and paste into Windows Mail
In the last short while, I have been unable to cut and paste from say, a document in to a message I am creating. I am just talking text here - no pictures. I saw in another forum that alot of folks with Vista seem to be having this problem (as of mid to late April 09) but I did not see a reason for this suddenly occurring nor did I see a solution for it. This is really causing problems for me.
Duplicate Node Problem Synopsis
My thanks to all who contributed before me to resolve the duplicate node (duplicate folder name) dilemma. Synopsis: per instructions browse to the Storage folder so that it is the only folder in the file list. Right click Storage folder for Properties/General tab and deselect Attributes: Read-only (once per import function, don't verify). Only then press Select Folder to complete Browse. Confirm correct routing (no duplicate folder name) and press Next to continue. This worked for me on a local area network (XP, OE6 to Vista WM).
help please today
every time i change the permissions & take off read only & acitvate. Vista changes it back to read only. I am the administrator. I have all powers. ??????
I need my email
thanks
Windows Mail Issues
Hi. My husbands new computer came with Vista 64 bit on his computer. Since his old one died, we hired our computer company to come and take everything straight from the hard drive to the new computer. Everything is transferred great, including all of his email and his contacts. (by the way- so much easier to back up the email with WM) The 2 major problems we are having that I can't find answers to are:
1. His contacts are all there, but they won't auto-complete. The only ones that will auto-complete are the last 29 that he replied to and that changes every time he replies to someone new, the oldest drops off. (we run our businesses from home so we send lots of emails and have lots of contacts)
2. He isn't able to open any attachments. I already unchecked the box that says to not allow any attachments to open that could be potentially harmful. As it is now, he is having to save every attachment to the desktop and then go to the desktop to open them up.
Please help with the solutions! Thank you! (I did already install the updates and the service packs. These didn't fix either of these problems.)
Windows Mail does not send pre-made proformas
I bought Vista 12 months ago and Wndows Mail is the email system that I now use. However, whenever I want to send to someone a filled-in proforma, it fails to do this and tells me that Outlook is corrupted or should be repaired. I sense that the proformas are set up for Outlook and cannot be sent by Windows Mail.
Any advice out there?

Migrating from Outlook Express to Windows Mail
I currently have Windows XP/Outlook Express and am planning to buy a new computer with Windows Vista. Reading the above tutorial on migrating from Outlook Express to Windows Mail, it seems to assume that you have both programs on the same computer; if transferring to a new computer, do you save to CD or memory stick to export, and then load that onto the new Vista computer before importing?
Do you need to back-up separately first, in case something goes wrong? How much memory space is needed to back-up? (If more than one CD/memory stick, how does this work?) Will the old emails still be there on the original computer?
Advice appreciated. Thanks.
import OE msg store into Vista Mail
One of the scary things about these instructions (http://www.vista4beginners.com/Migrate-from-Outlook-Express-to-Windows-Mail) is "all your imported messages will be placed in the Imported Folder". I have about 8 yrs worth of msgs in about 500 folders (3G approx). Are you telling me that all these msgs will end up in one folder?
trying to import
The same as others: when trying to import, no messages can be found, even though I could see them in the CD / memory stick.
Importing Outlook Express into Vista
I, too, am having the problem of importing my mail into Vista. Have the easy transfer cable, tried everything, read every post here. Have gotten my files transferred and they are there, but they won't import. Any help at this point would be greatly appreciated.
I have looked and my files are marked "read only", but when I unmark them and go back in, they automatically go back to read only, instantly . I also have the double node issue. I can get rid of that, but it takes some time. Is there an easy fix to this issue? Why can't I just type in my file location????
When I get to the point to transfer in my files, it says they do not exist. Please help!! I have spent days on this, literally!!!
