Compact file of Windows mail

Thank you

The files you need to find are eml files and they can be hidden.  Go to control panel | Folder options | View and uncheck Hide extensions of known file types and enable the display of the hidden files and folders.  Look for the drive to *.eml.  The default location for the message store is C:\users\[username]\AppData\Microsoft\Windows mail.  See www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm

See if you can find them then.  When WinMail compact, it compact only the database which does contain all the messages, so it's rare to lose messages.  If that happened, I'd be suspicious of any anti-virus software you use (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3).

  • Send Audio files in Windows Mail

    I could not send an audio file to WAV (62.8 MB), MP3 format (5.7). Am I limited in Windows Mail? Is there a way to get around this?

    You are not limited in WinMail, but you are by your server. 62.8 MB is enormous not to mention sending it's code. That triggers the size by a third, and now it's a 83.7 MB file. A common limit is 25 MB, and many Internet service providers have a smaller limit.

    Download the file on a site like Photobucket or SkyDrive and just email a link to it.

  • Unable to open or save files from Windows Mail attached.

    My problem:

    Windows Mail on a new Vista system (for me)... I had been using Outlook Express and miss me him now three feaures: compose of 1) ability to open and save attachments, 2) semi-automatic recipient and copy 3) invisible on screen. Feature missing #1 is a showstoper.

    Another option would be to use a website based email system, I guess.

    In Re problem # 1 (attachments)

    ---------------------------------------from Q&A screens------------------------------

    Windows Mail blocks certain types of file attachments that are commonly used to spread e-mail viruses, such as files with the following file name extensions: .exe, .pif and .scr files. IfWindows Mail blocks an attachment in an e-mail message, the information bar displays a message letting you know he did and list the attachment that has been blocked.

    I know that I need programs such as Word files .doc to open .doc attachments, but above characters fat not yet past.

    Open Windows Mail by clicking the Start button, all programs, and then clicking Windows Mail.

    Click on the Tools menu and then click Options.

    Click the Security tab, clear the do not allow attachments to the opening or recording that could potentially be a virus check box, and then click OK.

    The above could not solve the problem.

    -of the screen Windows Mail communities.

    Service temporarily unavailable
    We apologize for the inconvenience. Please try again later.

    So. I'm stuck.

    1: you get the message that Windows has blocked access to the attachment, or it does not work? All file extensions or part?

    2: tools | Options | Send. The corresponding checkbox is checked? Note that only 29 addresses are remembered. See for more information.

    3: CCI works exactly as in OE.

You will see your list of contacts and the choice to put them in the To, CC, or BCC field. Click on an address, and then click BCC to add it. Repeat for all of the contacts you want. (Note: most of the providers have limits as to how many messages you can send both a. 25 is common, but it varies).
    • Put your own address in the box to. That's the only name/address that any recipient will see. If you leave the field empty, some people may not receive e-mail because of message rules they put in place, or restrictions imposed by their ISP.
    • You can also make an entry in the address book using your e-mail address, but put something like the mailing list in the area of the display.

  • Files from Windows Mail & Recovery?

    I am trying to recover data from a Vista PC mail using the mail window.  I have access to the drive, but how and where the e-mail data is stored?  How can I copy these data and import into W7 WLM?  Thanks for any help?

    By default, Windows Mail stores its data in C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail.  Enable the display of hidden files to see.

    To import into WLM, press ALT + F , click on import > Messages >, Windows Mail , and then navigate to this folder. Boulder computer Maven

  • Where are the files of Windows Mail messages and contacts stored in Windows 7?

    I backed up a Windows 7 system and restored to factory State by doing a restore of the system because the system has been seriously infected by viruses.  I couldn't do the export before the system recovery.

    Now, given the Windows 7 system restore brand new I am trying to restore Windows Mail account.  In fact, I can't tell if it was a front window Mail or Windows Live Mail.  I don't know if the locations of the files for messages and contacts of these two letters are different.

    When I go to c:\users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\, I don't see Windows Live Mail but Windows Mail.  So does that mean it was a Windows Mail system not a before Windows Live Mail System.  I copied the files saved in Windows Mail system on the same path directory in the newly recovered system, but it doesn't seem to make a difference when I open Windows Live Mail, which is the only e-mail program on the newly recovered Windows 7 system.

    Can someone confirm the locations of the files to messages and contacts, Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail in the operating system Windows 7 home.  Can I just copy the files on?  With Outlook 2007 and 2010, she usually works if I simply copy the files or import from the saved file.  Also should which file names be so that I can easily identify them?  Are the mail accounts and password setup to re - enter as Outlook 2007/2010 or are stored in the files I can simply copy to the new system?

  • Windows Mail JPG attachments get the error message "cannot find... .jpg file.

    Recently, I try to open JPG files in Windows Mail and get an error message window that says that "Windows cannot find"filename.jpg"make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again" I can save the JPG file, then open it, but Windows Mail won't open it by simply clicking on the attachment JPG.

    There has been reports of this behavior with only some files (.jpg or .pdf) and the reports of this problem with each attachment after installing IE8.  Frankly, they are quite few and inconsistent and avisnon there is no clear solution.  Try these two steps in this order.

    1. Use this utility to 'fix' to reset the Security http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/949220 settings
    2. Use this utility to re - register a lot of IE http://iefaq.info/index.php?action=artikel&cat=35&id=133&artlang=en important .dll

    There are other actions that must be reported to temporarily fix the problem - move to the location of the internet temportary file, for example.  Another reported a little is to uninstall IE8 and then reinstall it with all the temporarily disabled third-party security software.

    Since you have only this problem with .jpg files, you can try to reset file associations for .jpg.  Open an administrator command prompt (right click on cmd in the start menu and choose "Run as Administrator").  In the administration command prompt window, type the following lines exactly as shown:
    Assoc .jpg = jpegfile

    Assoc .jpeg = jpegfile

    ftype jpegfile=%SystemRoot%\System32\rundll32.exe "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Photo Gallery\PhotoViewer.dll", ImageView_Fullscreen %1

  • Cannot import Windows Mail 6.0 files after reformatting the hard drive

    Desktop HP of my wife had to be reformatted.  It is under Vista Home Premium.  Email is vesion Windows Mail 6.0.  I exported all the personal files in Windows Mail she wanted, through the export feature.  They are stored on a DVD right now.  The problem is that once I have reformatted the hard disk to the original factory conditions, I can't import files or messages.  The import in the Wizzard options is for Windows Mail (with outlook and Express) 7.  When I choose 7 Mail I get the following error message: "no messages are located in this folder or another application is running that has the required files open.  If I navigate to the actual stored email files on the backup DVD I can open individual emails so that they were saved.  What can I do?

    It is a bit of extra work, but it will do the job.

    • Copy the files from the DVD to the desktop.
    • Open WinMail and create the folders that you need to match those on the desktop.
    • Open a folder on the desktop and you should see all of the messages as .eml files.
    • Select all, then right click on them. Drag the corresponding folder of WinMail and copy here.

    That worked? You can remove the files from office once facts.
