• Import e-mail messages from Outlook Express in Windows Live Mail?

  I have recently moved to a new PC with Win7 and have been using Live Mail - more often with success, I thought with the exception of one or two faults, but I'll probably post a question on those.
  On the audit of my old PC today, when I open Oulook Express have been downloaded more than 100 emails that have not appeared in Live Mail - dating back to the time I went.
  I tried to export these messages of OE, put it on a USB key and then import in LM LM do not seem to recognize them - these are the dbx files. Suggestions anyone please?
  Thank you in advance.
  Jeff.

  If both computers use the same e-mail address, you must do this to get the messages on both.
   
  On both machines: tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - Check: leave a copy of messages on the server.
   
  On a single computer only, make sure to delete messages after X days to satisfy your allocated space that you get from your server.

  In OE, click a message and then header Ctrl + F3 will display the source of the message. You can copy and paste what you want in a word processing program, or if your printer has the option "Print selection", to highlight what launches print and print selection.

• Migrate emails from Outlook 2003 to Windows 7 Live Mail - without using OE6

  I upgraded that computer from Vista to Windows 7 64 bit. I have decided to switch from Outlook 2003 to Windows Live Mail, but cannot find a way to export my old mails from Outlook to WinMail. I read it online through Outlook Express 6 as an intermediary, but when I tried, it turns out that you can not install OE6 on a 64-bit computer.

  So I am at a loss. How can I move my old mails from Outlook 2003 to WinMail?

  You are welcome!  Outlook Express is part of Windows XP, so do not install it.  Here are the highlights:

  1. start Outlook, import the .pst file, quit Outlook.
  2. start Outlook Express, import messages from Outlook, close Outlook Express.
  3. copy the Outlook Express store folder in Windows 7.  To find its location, click Tools > Options > maintenance > store folder .
  4. start Windows Live Mail, import messages from the Outlook Express store folder.

  I think that this will pick up all accounts.

• Switch from Win XP and OE Express to Windows live mail, then in Win7 running Outlook 2010 - how?

  This is NOT an easy process.

  (A) can I download Windows Live mail on my Win XP machine to migrate my e-mal address book and messages?

  (B) then, after I get stuff all the Windows Live stuff I'm supposed to be able to download stuff on Win 7 and Outlook.

  Copy all the files from Outlook Express dbx on the XP machine in the Win 7 machine.  Also, to find the wab (address book) file and copy that.  Then in Outlook try Alt | File | Options | Advanced | Export and click on the button "export".  Then gives you options to import messages or address book and OE to choose it.  I have not tried and it might not work, but this would be the simplest method and you wouldn't have to go through living things.

  See instructions for import here: www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm for Windows Mail in Vista.  Most of the provisions continue to apply, but in Outlook Import Wizard may not have the quirkiness of the Vista one.  Dbx files cannot be readonly however and the folders.dbx file must be present.  And copy the dbx files to a folder on the desktop on the Win7 machine so you won't not permissions with importation problems.
