• How can I import groups of Windows Mail contacts in Windows Live Mail?

  I work in a small office where we have computers running Windows Vista and using Windows Mail (version 6.0.6000.16388).  We have hundreds of contacts and a few contact groups on these computers.

  A few months ago, we got two new computers running Windows XP and Windows Live mail (version 2009, version 14.0.8089.0726).  Other computers at the office always have Vista and the other version of Windows Mail.

  I was able to export our hundreds of contacts and import them into Windows Live Mail for new computers have all the contacts... but I was unable to find a way to import groups.

  These groups are all very large and comprise mostly/entirely out of contacts that do not have individual contact entries.

  I've been Googling for a solution to this problem.  The page nearest you, that I could find was this:

  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/3818-Windows-Live-Mail-import-Vista-contacts-contact-groups.html

  I was very discouraged when I saw the big red warning to the top of the page:

  ---------------
  In the Groups of Contact with Vista, only contacts who are also included as normal Contacts will be imported into Windows Live Mail. Contacts that have been created for the Contact Group only will not be imported into Windows Live Mail. You will need to write these down and add them manually in Windows Live Mail.
  ---------------

  This pretty much described my situation exactly, but manually going through all groups, write all contacts, and then import them manually into two separate machines should always and is simply not an option.

  Are there really no other way I can get these groups into Windows Live Mail?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you very much!

  I have not actually tried this, but I think this method will work.

  1. get a free Live ID (or @hotmail.com or @live.com).

  2. install Windows Live Mail on Vista computer. During the installation, it will offer to signature with a Live ID. Do.

  3. the first performance of Windows Live Mail, it will be important to all contacts from Windows Mail. Give him enough time to synchronize all contacts with the web version of this Live ID.

  4. open Windows Live Mail on the new computer and then connect with the same Live ID. The automatic synchronization process will transfer in all contacts of the web version of this Live ID.

  The following versions of Microsoft Outlook are fully supported on Windows 7;

  • Outlook 2003
  • Outlook 2007
  • Outlook 2010 (when it came out)

  It is recommended to always update your version of Outlook directly after installation to take care of any question of incompatibility which have been corrected.

  Previous versions
  Another version of Outlook is not supported on Windows 7. Although you may install it, any compatibility issues is not corrected. For example;

  • Outlook 2002/XP works on Windows 7, but it has the same problems remember password when using Windows Vista.
  • Outlook 2000 cannot be installed in Internet Mail Only Mode (IMO) and must be installed in company/workgroup (CW Mode) Mode to prevent a mistake wab.dll.

• Outlook Express 6 emails were stored on an external drive and are stored in folders with the name of people. Is it possible to import them to Windows Mail on Windows 7?

  The strange things about this is that the mails are visible when you view them via Solution Explorer and they can be added to Windows Mail one by one.  However, they do not seem to be in a dbx file and they are not imported when the folder is selected.  Don't know how all these emails got it sorted by name of the person (in the folders).

  First of all, please note that Windows Mail is not provided and does not normally work under Windows 7. Perhaps mean you Windows Live Mail, which is a differnet program and also does not come with Windows7, well that many manufacturers together with the computers they sell.

  However, there are solutions that allow you to run Windows Mail in Windows 7, so, assuming that you've used such a workaround, please read here:

• 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.

• Restore saved the Windows Mail Messages in the New Installation of Windows Mail

  I found the following on this forum thread. Further to this review in the second paragraph, I was able to move a message to the empty folder. But I was unable to move the other messages in the folder. The files I tried to move appeared as attachments in a new message. The .eml files and not marked read-only. What should I try next?

  TIA,

  Michael R

  Windows Mail does not dbx files.  Copy the store directory of all message on the desktop of the new machine.  Then right-click on the file and go to properties and make sure that they are not read-only.  Then go to file | Import | Messages in WinMail and choose the format from Windows Mail 7 and point to this directory.   See also here for general information: www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm
   
  If you can not always get messages in folders, you can create a new folder in WinMail and open it so that it displays a list of empty message.  Then, open up one of the subdirectories containing eml files in Explorer and drag an eml file on top of the list of message empty folder and drop and you will see it is embedded in the file.  Once you get a job, you can drag and drop all eml files at a time, as long as they are only the eml files.

I was able to transfer the former folders of the backup but when I go to import it recognizes not all files.

  They are attachments because you drag another file in addition to the eml files.  When you select the eml files to ensure that they areonly the eml files and then it will work.

• How can I get rid of Windows Mail?

  I have Windows Vista and I have this stupid Windows mail that comes with it. I never use this program and I was wondering if there is anyway to get rid of it. I also went to remove its files, but he says that the files were nesesary to running some programs, so I decided to not to remove. So, is it a safe way to get rid of Windows mail without messing something up? Thank you for your time and support, of lnachtigal

  You cannot get rid of Windows Mail because it's part of your Vista operating system. If you use it, there should not be a problem, but you can disable it if you wish.

• How to block the address in Windows Mail

  How can I permanently block an address or a domain.  When I block an email address, now it goes to my spam. I want that emails that are on my blocked list should be deleted. If I check (permanently delete the box) which suppose to delete suspicious emails, it removes all the emails coming to my email box. I sent two personal emails to my friends that I know are not spam in my Windows Mail and they also get deleted until they get not even read. Does anyone know how to permanently block an email address after you have manually was put in the e-mail block list.

  Apply the rules of message instead of blocked senders. Assuming that a spammer does not change the domain name, you can create a rule:

  Where the line contains people
  Delete it and stop processing more rules (or remove it from the server, and you will never see it)
  Click on People contains and add the domain. Ex: @yahoo.com.

  These links refers to Outlook Express, but are identical to Windows Mail.
