. IDS files of win me and outlook express

I'm trying to get my emails from an old windows me computer using outlook express.  the problem is I find all these files .ids as inbox.ids instead of .dbx and windows live mail as Outlook express on windows xp recognizes as files to import.  How do I return my emails?

Are you sure its .ids and .idx not? Older versions of Outlook Express use. IDX and. MBX files for storage. Here's how to deal with them:

import of old idx, mbx and dbx files

  • Switch from Win XP and OE Express to Windows live mail, then in Win7 running Outlook 2010 - how?

    This is NOT an easy process.

    (A) can I download Windows Live mail on my Win XP machine to migrate my e-mal address book and messages?

    (B) then, after I get stuff all the Windows Live stuff I'm supposed to be able to download stuff on Win 7 and Outlook.

    Copy all the files from Outlook Express dbx on the XP machine in the Win 7 machine.  Also, to find the wab (address book) file and copy that.  Then in Outlook try Alt | File | Options | Advanced | Export and click on the button "export".  Then gives you options to import messages or address book and OE to choose it.  I have not tried and it might not work, but this would be the simplest method and you wouldn't have to go through living things.

    See instructions for import here: www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm for Windows Mail in Vista.  Most of the provisions continue to apply, but in Outlook Import Wizard may not have the quirkiness of the Vista one.  Dbx files cannot be readonly however and the folders.dbx file must be present.  And copy the dbx files to a folder on the desktop on the Win7 machine so you won't not permissions with importation problems.

  • I can ONLY connect to the internet with IE7 and Outlook Express

    I have Win XP SP3, home wired network, Netgear router, cable internet, Lenovo desktop.
    I can run IE 7 and Outlook Express and connect to the internet very well with these.  However, I can not connect using FireFox.  Windows Update returns an error and does NOT connect to scan my computer and display the necessary updates.  I just installed tax program this year HR CD block and it is unable to connect to internet to download the updates.  I used IE7 to go to the web site of the tax program to download the update manually, but it doesn't connect either.  I also can't complete installation OF Adobe (Digital Editions) program because it must connect to the internet in order to make a registration.

    I have disabled the Windows Firewall, do not have a configured proxy.  So, I can browse the internet with IE7 and get email with Outlook express.  I went on the site from Google Chrome to try to download it and install it that (using IE7 of course), but after I press the "Download" button, IE7 says that it cannot connect to perform the download.

    I scanned this forum and not seen similar symptoms that would allow me to reach a solution.  Everyone knows about this issue and how to resolve?

    P.S. I have two other laptops Win XP which CAN completely connect to internet with IE and Firefox via the same router and the modem cable.

    I tried trojan remover and none of the things in the menu utils found any problems.

    But it turns out that my problem was a hidden/partial copy of Symantec Client Firewall that I thought was deleted.  Over the months some programs had been updated and Symantec didn't know about them, so it was blocking their access: FROM Adobe, HR Block, IE8, Firefox, etc.  Given that I have not seen it listed in the start menu and it was not listed in Add/Remove Programs, I didn't have to try to remove it.  And it was not poping up to tell me of a new program attempts to access the Internet.

    I used the Symantec tool to remove all THE stuff of Symantec and it cleared up my connection problems.  I then reinstalled Symantec Client Security (antivirus and firewall) and turned off the Windows Firewall.

  • October 11, 2011 updated catchy so long delays for IE8 and Outlook Express

    After you install Microsoft Updates on October 11, 2011, after a system reboot, Internet explore 8 and Outlook Express experience long delays before starting. During this period, the Task Manager is also locked, so I don't see what process is at the origin of the problem.

    I narrowed down it to KB2564958 or KB2592799.

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled the KB2564958 and the KB2592799 and the problem disappeared.

  • I can't delete a message from my Outbox and Outlook Express won't send it. What should I do?

    I tried to send a large amount of photos using Outlook Express. The message is stuck in the outlet box. It will not send it, I can't move or delete it. Any ideas?

    Check: File | Work offline and in: reviews | Layout: uncheck the preview pane. Can delete you it now?

    Otherwise:

    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, 2K & 2K 3, files from user OE (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.

    With OE closed, find the DBX the Outbox.dbx file and delete it. A new vacuum will be created automatically when you open OE.

  • I have a new computer with windows 7. I need to transfer my emails and contacts from my old computer (windows XP and outlook express) to my new computer. How do I do that?

    both computers are online

    It depends on what e-mail program, you will use in Win7. He was not an '' integrated '', as previous versions of Windows.

    If you on Windows Live Mail, that would be the answer.

    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.

    For specific help with WLMail, ask here, not in this forum.
