Hello Microsoft...

I just bought a new computer with Windows 7 coming next week... I was told to download Windows Live Mail (?), because Outlook Express is no longer used (?), and the new computer will also Microsoft Office 2010 student Addition as well... so my question is would you please, 'how can I move my email, files saved e-mail and contacts to my Windows 2000 machine using Outlook Express 6 to my new Windows 7 machine with I guess Windows Live Mail or Outlook 2010?  I'd appreciate any help available...

Transfer of data from Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail:

For Messages:

Copy the * ENTIRE * OE message store folder to a flash drive. (Folders.dbx must be included). Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail. Open WLMail and: file | Import | Messages | Microsoft Outlook Express 6, and the point where it was saved.

Location of OE message store:

In OE: Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | 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 under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

For addresses:

Open the address book in OE and file | Export | Address book (wab) and save it to the desktop. Copy it to a flash drive. Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail.

Open the Contacts list in WLMail, (go |) Contacts in the Menu bar) and the file | Import | Address book (wab) Windows and the point where you saved it.

Note: If you use a CD or a DVD instead of a flash drive, after placing on the new machine you must remove the read-only attribute in the properties before you import.

For the account settings:

In OE: Tools | Accounts, select the account and export it to the desktop. This will be an .iaf file. Copy it to the new computer and WLMail desktop: tools | Accounts and import the settings from the location you saved the.

  • How can I move web shortcuts on my desktop into folders on my desktop?

    I have too many shortcuts to Web sites on my desktop and I need to organize.  How can I move them into folders?  Many of them were placed on my desk by my organization and can not be deleted, so I would put them in folders and own things!

    Hello Rebecca,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

    According to the description, you need to organize and move the shortcuts to Web sites into folders on the system.

    Certainly, I understand your concern.

    I suggest you try the following steps to create a folder on the desktop.

    1. Right click on the taskbar at the bottom of your screen, and then clicking Show Desktop.
    2. Right-click in an open space on your desktop, click new, and then click folder.
    3. Type a name for the folder, and then press enter to complete the creation of your new folder on the desktop.
    4. You can move the folder to the desktop by clicking on the folder, and then drag it to the desired location.
    5. You can also rename a folder by right-clicking the folder, and then clicking Rename.

    Note: Once the folder is created, you can simply drag and drop shortcuts from the site on this particular issue.

  • How can I make each file have its own specific view and a provision in windows Explorer (windows 7)?

    in previous versions, I was able to have a unique view for each folder, but in windows 7, when I make a change in view, it changes everything.

    In addition, the "apply to all folders' is always greyed out, which is probably part of the problem?

    changes to the 'read only' boxes only returns without modification.  does anyone have solutions?

    View and arrangements that make you to folders in Windows 7 are retained and are specific to this folder.

    However, view and arrangements that you make within a view of the library from a folder will affect the entire library.  This is because a library is, essentially, a view of files search result.  When you change the display, you change the view of this area of research.

    To set your own point of view, follow these steps:

    1 - click Start, and then click on your name at the top right.

    2 - Go to the folder for which you want to define a view

    3 - Set your point of view and to close the file.  The setting is preserved.

  • How can I move e-mail addresses of 'personal' to 'work '?

    When I import contacts from a Windows Live Mail account to another Windows Live e-mail account, he always puts the email address into the slot in the "personal e-mail" rather than the "work email" slot he was supposed to be in. I went through and changed all 600 of my contacts so that personnel were in the slot of the "personal e-mail", and working contacts in the slot "work email". Then I exported the list and saved. I imported into a new Windows Live e-mail account, and they all came through as only "personal e-mail".  How can I change this without having to go through all contacts individually and change it?
