How to import my Windows Live Mail email messages in mail for Windows 8?

Before that I have upgraded Vista to Windows 8 I exported my (a few thousand) e-mail messages to save them in a folder.   Now I would like to import to Windows 8 mail.    How do I do that?

I had the same problem, although in my case, I was trying to transfer data to a new computer of Win8 from Win7.  I wanted to just transfer my files, e-mail and contact groups, as I did with previous updates.  According to technology Microsoft Office response that I talked for about an hour, Microsoft does NOT provide a way to import data from Microsoft previous E-mail programs (windows live mail) to any application of Win8, and you can't do that with Outlook.com either.  Basically, Win8 with all tiles or such is not really a basic messaging application yet.  She told me that I have to do is to get a copy of Outlook or windows live mail on the Win8 Office part, then run as a Win7 machine.  This seems to be the best answer, until Win8 is more mature.

  • I use Windows Live mail for months and suddenly can not receive or by e-mail. I'm getting Error 0x800CCC0E, socket 10013 error ID.

    Windows Live Error 0x800CCC0E, socket 10013 error

    I use Windows Live mail for months and suddenly can not receive or by e-mail.  I'm getting Error 0x800CCC0E, socket 10013 error ID.  I don't think that all the parameters have been changed recently.  What motivates this error?

    This computer is home and cable? If so, this is the e-mail scan probably the cause. According to your AV program, you may need to reinstall.

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:

    Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email

    Note that for many AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program and reinstall in custom Mode and uncheck e-mail scanning when the option is available.

    Also note that WLMail has its own forum.

  • I have several .dbx files stored in a directory on a Windows 8. How to import them to my mail application?

    I configured my Gmail account in my Mail application.  As, I exported my Outlook Express files and stored these .dbx files in a directory on my PC in Windows 8.  To import the .dbx files, I have read that I have to go in my WinMail application and select File--> Import Messages (by selecting the format of OE 6), import them from the directory in which they are stored, navigate to that directory, select the .dbx files and import them.

    However, the Mail app doesn't have the file--> import feature, or at least I can't locate.  Can someone advise please how I can perform this function in the Mail application?  Thank you.

    John

    My DBXpress program retrieves messages from the dbx (www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/) files.  You can then get my ceml program (free - www.oehelp.com/ceml/) to read.  Otherwise, you will need to get a 3rd mail program (e.g. Thunderbird, Windows Live Mail, Outlook) group to import the files and read them.  The Mail App in Win8 will not read them.

  • How to create a link in my signature in Windows Live Mail for Windows 7?

    I used to use Outlook Express, and when I put a link in my signature in Outlook Express, it automatically creates a hyperlink so that my clients can easily access my site, but I am now using Windows Live Mail, and I was never able to find a way to create a link in my signature.

    I put my website address in my signature, but when I send a mail to answer, it will only turn it into a link if I click at the end of my website address and then press ENTER to go down as I begin a new paragraph. When I do that, it changes the address a link, but it's a real hassle of having to do every time I send a response. I tried to do the same thing in my signature, but it does not work.

    Did someone knows a way to make it a link in my signature?

    Under the Signature settings in the options, you can use a plain text signature that has no connection, or you can use the 'file' option to define an HTML file containing the code for a signature with a link.

    For example, save it as a sig.html notebook file (instead of the economy as a normality. txt file) and use it in the options.

    Roxanne
    example.com

    This will produce a signature that looks like this:

    Roxanne
    example.com

  • Dbx file large will not import into Microsoft Live Mail

    I'm migration of Outlook Express to Microsoft Live Mail - all records were imported fine except the file sent.  It's a large dbx file with 5 k + messages.  Only the oldest 1600 will import.  How to import in its entirety?  I really need the latest messages, not messages in 2008 as well.  Help!

    The file is probably corrupted and it may not even have the messages inside.  If you have OE still works, and then try to save again and trying to import from this backup.  Otherwise, if the file contains messages, then DBXpress ( www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/ ) can extract them as individual eml files.  But if the messages are not in the file longer, then nothing can.   DBXpress disc function extract could be used to such cases on the XP practice to try to recover what was lost, if the folder on this drive does not have messages any longer.
