Xfer of OE data to Windows Mail in Vista
I would like to check something out that I have read here, but want to confirm. I have an old laptop that just croaked after 4+ years, no video. I was able to pull the data from my hard drive onto an external drive. Given the fact that I cannot "see" anything, I was not able to first export my OE files. The files I copied are just straight up off of my old laptop. Now I need to see if I can still "import" into Windows Mail, even though I did not go through the actual export process. Can I select the OE folder as others have suggested? Will that work for both contacts and actual emails? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
By the way - fantastic forum site and great information. I have printed several of the "how to's" here and they look to be great and very well detailed. Wonderful job!
Thanks!

Read Mail
When I click on 'read mail' on my Google toolbar I'm directed to Outlook Express. But on my new Dell computer I changed to Windows Mail. How do I get Google toolbar tab to recognise this?

hard work.
HTML messages were saved as attachment
I successfully imported my email messages from OE6 to WM. The problem is, all messages in html were saved as an attachment. So now, for each message that is written in html, I have to open an attachment to read it.
Does anyone know why this happened and is there a way to import html messages without WM saving it as an attachment?
Thank you

transfer of messages almost went smoothly.
I have 3 email accounts I wanted to transfer. I followed the instructions to export and had the files all on a external hard drive. I put one identity on the administrator and 2 on my side log in. Those two are from the same server and I want them seperate from the 3rd on admin. I pulled in one on my side log in and it came in beautifully. I went back to the hard drive to bring the second identity in. It brought in the first one again even though I had them in seperate files. I can't find the second identity. I went to admin and put the 3rd comcast.net one in without a hitch. I am missing one identity and don't know how to correct it!!! Any thoughts, if you even understand my message here?
How do I create a new Inbox
How do I create a new Inbox when I reached the size limit of the "Old Inbox", without spending "months" for copying mesages?
Importing Outlook email dbx's to Vista
When following the Outlook to Vista instructions, MAKE SURE YOU COPY THE FOLDERS.dbx FILE!! The detailed instructions will not work if you do not. You will get an error stating that the files cannot be found or that they are in use by another application ... or something like that.
ARGH ... er, I mean, isn't Vista great!
Can't get WM to see messages after transfer.
Followed all procedures shown here and elsewhere. I am the only user/administrator, deselected read only, got OE folder transferred to new computer and into WM, but subfolders and messages are nowhere to be seen. I can open the transferred folder directly and verify that all the .dbx files are in there, but when I open the transferred folder in WM all I get is the single "Welcome To OE6" e-mail that showed up when I first opened OE6. Cant find any of what I want.
Any ideas before I start using this thing for target practice?
Outlook Express to Windows Mail
Hi,
I have just transferred all my email from Outlook Express to Windows Mail using your tutorial. However I found that to transfer my contacts from Outlook Express to Windows Mail it is easier and more cleaner to export into a WAB file than to a CSV file.
Test it. It also transfers all your group names.
Thanks for your tutorial.
Problems with transferring .dbx to Vista
Hubby thought he helped and moved all my OE .dbx files to a MY Book for safekeeping during PC rebuild and new PC purchase. Unfortunately he did not move all the files under OE...ie: no FOLDERS file, no INBOX file...just my "working" .dbx files. How can I transfer these files into Windows Vista Mail...or can I? And, if I can not, how is the best way to access them without extracting ALL the emails. That would mean thousands and thousands to extract as I receive at least 3000 a day. *ick to imagine the mess* Please...anyone...suggestions?
Pulling my hair out.
