• 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.

• transfer of mail from outlook express in windows mail

  I just installed a new drive on my vista dell calculation running after the failure of the old drive. I could get all my old data except e-mail from an external drive that was being automatic backup of vusta. I was using outlook express on your old computer. On the new disc from the dell software required that I used Windows mail. Mail program says he can import files from outlook express, but it didn't import empty files for me. When I look at the folders.dbx file, it only contains e-mail before 2007 and seems to correspond to the email I have uploaded from an older computer in 2007. How can I recover my missing email? Is it possible to reinstall outlook express? I still have the old external hard drive failed and the backup data on the hard drive.

  (1) that I can't do is delete the recovered Messages folder. A while back, I was able to delete empty files individually, one by one until I got rid of all. But now nothing happens when I delete things. I use Live updates for current email, so I can survive, but...

  (2) concerning the recovery of the hard drive, I don't mind try the program you suggested, but don't know how to connect the old drive. I remember reading something on a low-cost device that can be connected to a port... if USB, maybe you can direct me to a site where this is discussed, I would be grateful.
  Otherwise, I'll look for a local repair tomorrow show.

  Thanks a lot for your help.

  1: tools | Options | Maintenance | Advanced | Store folder will show you the path to the Windows Mail message store. You may be able to remove the Messages recovered there. Do it with closed WinMail.

  2: If you want to get into the innards of your machine, it should be a space and drop side of your current drive. Otherwise, I would look at a store. Bruce Hagen MS - MVP [Mail]

• Cannot open emails from Outlook Express on Windows 7

  Original title: Outlook express on exploere8

  I just bought a new computer which has windows 7 and explorer 8 is installed, my old computor was an outlook express program that has lots of emails stored in it. I don't seem to be able to open these emails outlook express doesn't automatically come with explorer8?

  Outlook Express is an e-mail Client program.  Internet Explorer is a web browser.  They are completely different animals.

  Windows 7 computers lack any e-mail client program (unless the manufacturer of the computer or the seller has installed a). Therefore, you will need to download and install your own choice email client.

  Microsoft to promote Windows Live Mail, the free successor to Outlook Express.  You can download the program ofhttp://download.live.com.   WLMail belongs to the series of programs, Windows Live, which includes Windows Live Messenger, etc.. However, you just install the items you need.

  At present, there are two versions of WLMail available for download.  The latest stable version of the suite of programs live was "Wave 3"(version number 14.0.8117.0416).  However, you also have the option to install the version 'Wave 4' of the various programs.  I have no experience of the Wave 4 programs (which are beta (or test) releases), so cannot advise.

  Once you have installed WLMail, you will need to copy the messages from your old computer to Win XP files in a directory on your new Windows 7 computer.  Then, you will be able to open WLMail and click on file / import - import messages and other data.  With the version of Wave 3, the menu bar (which provides the file / edit / view / go / tools / Actions & help commands) is hidden by default.  To display the menu bar on an ad hoc basis, press Ctrl. To display the menu bar, click Alt and M together. Then, press M (or select "Show menu bar").

  You will find further instructions to the http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/importing-your-e-mail-contacts-and-calendar-into-windows-live-mail. However, a Google search led me to www.pcdon.com/080113OutlookExpress-WindowsLiveMail.html, which you can find easier to understand.

• How to open emails from Outlook Express on Windows 7?

  Burning of emails on CD using my old Windows XP computer. Outlook Express. These had. EML file extension. Now using "Windows Live mail" for email. I can open any email received with. EML extension, but can't open the emails on the disk. EML extension.

  Completely stumped!

  Hi Ron Palmer,

  First I have to say that this has nothing to do with Toshiba, it s related to Microsoft. In addition, I recommend an IMAP e-mail account, where e-mails will be stored on the server too.

  In any case, a friend of me has had the same problem and it could solve it:

  1. go to my computer > click on the C: drive > programs x 86 > Windows live > Mail
  In this folder, open wlmail.exe.
  After this move should open your emails with the .eml attachment.

  Good luck!

  Original title: Repetitivet sending emails from Outlook Express

  When sending emails from my Outlook Express , the following occurs:

  (1) as usual, send the message falls into my Outbox and begins to be sent.

  (2) when the message was sent, I get a message that "some errors occurred while processing requested tasks" but no actual errors are displayed.

  (3) the sent items folder does not show that a message has been sent... but a message has been sent.

  (4) the original message remains in my Outbox and will be sent over and over again.

  As you can imagine, it's a very embarrassing problem.  All suggestions are welcome, but please keep the instructions clear and simple.

  Hello

  Windows XP Service Pack 2 is installed on your computer? To work on this question, see these steps.

  It seems that there is a corruption of dbx file.

  I suggest you go over your messages out of the Inbox, and then create new folders Outbox and sent items after you move the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create.

  Reference:

  (a) click onTools

  (b) thenOptions

  (c) selectMaintenance

  (d) Record Store will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files.

  (e) Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste to start and select run.

  In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden.

  To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders

  Reference:

  (a) clickStart

  (b) Control Panel

  (c) Folder Options icon

  (d) notice, or in Windows Explorer

  (e) Tools

  (f) the Folder Options

  ( viewof g).

  With Outlook Express closed, find the DBX files for the items in the Outbox and sent and delete them. New ones will be created automatically when you open Outlook Express.

  After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

  Reference:

  (a) clickOutlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open.

  (b) click onthe file

  (c) work offline (or double click working online in the status bar).

  (d) file

  (e) file

  (f) compact all folders. Wait for the compaction to complete.

  General precautions for Outlook Express:

  Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend about a300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

  Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095

  Compact often as specified above.

  Reference:

  (a) in the Tools

  (b) selectOptions

  (c) maintenance:

  (d) uncheck Compact messages in the background and leave it unchecked. (N/a if running XP/SP2).

  And backup often.

• Windows 8 - since previous import of old emails from Outlook Express

  My old computer with XP died and my other uses Windows 8, and I am on a steep learning curve.  I had saved my email on a portable hard drive, and it is stored as .dbx files.   Y at - it an equivalent of Outlook Express in Windows 8, and/or sort I can download these files in order to access all my old messages (in and out) and email addresses.  Help!

  As you know by now, my colleague has given you a bit of a "bum steer", Hazel.

  While you can not import Outlook Express (OE) in the Mail of Win8 application data, you may be able to import the data to backup OE (DBX files) in Windows Live Mail (2011 or 2012) as long as the backup contains a file named RECORDS. DBX. Assuming that to do this, follow these steps:

  1 download/install Windows [Live] Essentials 2012 via this page-online http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-live/essentials-home

  NOTE: When you install either version, there is an option to install only the applications that you want (for example, Windows Live Mail;) Windows/Movie Maker photo gallery) or the entire suite (includes also Windows Writer, SkyOneDrive, etc..).

  2. Once you've got Windows Live Mail installed, create a new folder on the desktop (call, for example, the DBX FILES for convenience) & place a copy of your DBX backup set (i.e., all your files DBX including RECORDS.) DBX !!) in this folder.

  3 VERY IMPORTANT! => open the folder that you created in step 2 above. Select all the [CTRL + A] as all the DBX files are highlighted. Right click on the folder group. Select PROPERTIES and uncheck the READ ONLY box (assuming that this is already done).

  4. open Windows Live Mail & run the hotkey ALT + F | Select import messages. Microsoft Outlook Express 6 and point the Import Wizard to the folder created in step 2 above & click OK

  The imported data (files) will be located as subfolders in Windows Live Mail imported files as shown in the figure below:

  

  Once your OE messages were imported, they can (a) stay at this place, (b) be moved folder to created by the user in the storage of files (by the above illustration) or (c) be moved to a folder created by the user in an e-mail account (other than a Hotmail account) you set up in Windows Live Mail (i.e., to access your new messages).

  [By designed, Windows Live Mail creates a folder structure for each email account unique. or moved to the folder created by the user in the storage files.]

  To get instructions on the practice (b) or (c) above, see the bottom half of the blog post from my colleague of Windows Live Mail MVP most of what precedes is based (if not shamelessly copy/paste)-online http://liveunplugged.wordpress.com/2008/05/24/migrating-messages-in-accounts-from-outlook-express-to-windows-live-mail/

Enter the name of the group in the area of the display, but use your address. (Some Internet service providers require a legitimate address in the line to and recipients will know it's from the Group).
   
  Click on the button to. Enter the name of the group using your address. Enter the group in the BCC field.
