How to import emails in windows 8

I've recently upgraded to win 8 pro, I was using Windows Mail, how to import my messages? they are available in

C:\Windows.old\Users\Mail \Local Settings\Microsoft\Windows

they are all in eml file format.

I use now the default mail icon and that you have set up the account as IMAP instead of POP3

It doesn't seem to be a way documented to do so at the moment.  You can use my free ceml program to view the eml (www.oehelp.com/ceml/) files.

Win8 mail application seems to be strongly limited in its functionality.  There may be a roundabout way to do it.  See this article: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/pop-email-accounts

    I've updated to Windows XP using Thunderbird as my email for Windows 7 and Office 2007 client. I can't find out how to import all my emails and contacts from Thunderbird to Outlook.

    With difficulty.
    The easiest way (assuming that you have upgraded a machine and not bought a new) is to install Eudora, transfer all your TBird mail to that. Outlook will then be able to import Eudora mail
    The address book is a little more difficult. You need to export your address book of TBird in a CSV file, which if you went from the existing machine will mean reinstall TBird to do this. If you find my answer helpful, please click the button "Vote as helpful"! Thank you! My Blog

  • How do imported emails display as new emails?

    I put the old hard drive Windows XP in my new Win7 machine as a 2nd hard drive and tried to import WinLiveMail into the folder Outlook Express on the 2nd HD.  It did not work.  Why?

    I had to manually copy the old Outlook Express on the Win7 desktop folder and import the file from there.  It * seemed * to work, but the old emails do not appear with the subject lines or party time like emails that are currently received.  How can I make old emails display the same information as new emails?
    The import function is not supposed to make the transition between the old emails new emails without welding?

  • How to import contacts app Windows 8 people in Thunderbird?

    Need advice on how to import contacts into Thunderbird on WIndows 8 - problem seems to be that the people soft in windows 8 is so dumbed down you can't export contacts her. I also can't find the data files in the C:/users/user directory or any what subdirectory of that.

    If the questions are:
    1. where are my contacts in Windows 8?
    2. How can I get these in csv format for import into Thunderbird?

    Thank you very much in advance for your help on this.
    J

    I think that you need to access contacts via browser in your hotmail/outlook/live account: click on the "Services more" menu drop-down next to the Outlook button, then click on people, click Manage / export and save the WLMContacts.csv file.

    To import into TB, see this post: http://gsfn.us/t/2rr4x

  • How to import an avi windows movie maker video

    I have a Nikon Coolpix L22 and it supports .avi files, and when I tried to import it into windows movie maker, it wouldn't support it

    It may be worth trying to convert the .wmv file
    format before you import into Movie Maker.

    There are many programs that can do conversions...
    The following freeware is an example...:

    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    Format Factory

    (the 'direct link' is faster)
    (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup260.zip<>
    (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
    ('all' boxes on the last screen)

    First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
    Drag FFSetup260.exe out of the folder
    and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.

    Next, after the download and installation of Format
    Factory... you can open the program and
    left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
    "Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
    (this is where you find your files after they)
    are converted)

    Drag and drop your video clips on the main screen...

    Select "all to WMV" / OK...

    That should do it...

  • How to import emails and contacts from windows mail to thunderbird 8

    Hello

    I have Windows 8 and have been using the Windows 8 mail application. However, it is very basic, so I'm willing to switch to Thunderbird. However, I can't find a way to import my mail, folders and contacts to Thunderbird in Windows 8 Mail.

    There seems to be no option to export on Windows 8 Mail. Thunderbird has an import option, but is not able to locate the files of Windows 8 e-mail.

    It doesn't seem to be the answer to this question in the forums. Can anyone help?

    Thank you

    Mark

    App to win 8 Mail is usually associated with ahotmail/live/outlook.com account, so to access it with TB, configure an IMAP account:

    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/998184#answer-566746

    To import the contacts, open the web page account, export contacts to a csv file and follow the instructions here:

    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/1012084#answer-607601

    http://KB.mozillazine.org/Hotmail

    Automatically from hotmail/outlook represents messages copy sent to the folder "sent", uncheck "Place" a copy in. under the tools/account settings /hotmailaccount/Copies & records.

  • How to recover emails from Windows Mail?

    I have recently reinstalled Windows Vista Home Premium and have now a new OS works perfectly. Beforehand, I used, and now I want to continue using Windows Mail I have place and running in the operating system reinstalled my email address.

    However, all of my old emails remain in the folder of C:\windows.old\users\(my account \appdata\local\microsoft\windowsmail).

    I guess I missed the boat with export before the re - install Windows Vista and then later import so can suggest you how I can move my email of in my old Windows Mail for my new Windows Mail, ideally keeping the same structure of folders (Inbox, etc.,).

    Similarly, is it possible that I can now get my contact list?

    Thank you.

    You can try file | Import | Messages in winmail to bring imported, or you can try dragging that the eml files by top the list of an open message Winmail folder and a fall only and they get incorporated into this folder.  Otherwise, my OEX program (www.oehelp.com/OEX/ 32-bit only) allows you to import from a directory of eml files.  The contacts must be under the users\ (oldaccount) \Contacts directory.
