import from windows mail emails from a broken vista pc

My 32 bit Vista computer died - power, card mother etc. I have Acronis Disk full backups on a daily and external drive Acronis cloud of my files 'user '. What I don't have is a Windows Mail systems working group to export my old emails. When I run Thunderbird, are there emails in any way I can get these old backup, even if it means going from one place to another to get them.
As a temporary measure, I am now on a Windows 7 64-bit system.
If someone can help, but needs more information, let me know.
Thank you.

If your drag / drop off the mail will find themselves in some folder you \drop in.

A better solution would be to use the add-on from the import export tools if you have several nested folders as it will import a folder and the subfolders. The add-on will recreate your folder structure. It you choose to import the messages in a folder and its subfolders.

  • Why I can't make backups of my Vista Windows Mail email files?

    During the 3 years, when do backups, I just copied my "documents" folder in which I put my Windows Mail email folder. Never had a problem. Recently the file My last Email/Local Folders now refuses to copy. Explorer Windows try to copy it and at first it seems to work but while it starts at about 10 MB/sec it soon drops hyperbolically to zero, but never really gets there so everything hangs up. On 15 September, I made my last successful backup intact but since then, everything I tried failed. At first, I thought that files may not copy, because they are 'read only' files but of course this isn't. The files I copied successfully in my backups in September that all show an attribute "read only".

    I'm sure that this occurred shortly after a Windows Vista security 'upgrade', but after being in the security settings and change many of them I have no results.
    I recently had to use Internet Explorer for Google chrome and I don't have a gmail account if Microsoft & Google are not cohabiting in my computer. I ran into conflicts between IE and Chrome, especially when you try to print the email and web pages through our wifi HP network printer. Now my wife can not print at all. What is a part of the problem?
    Thanks in advance for any ideas.

    For the printer part, WinMail uses the print engine that it is uses, adjust if margins and other in Internet Explorer to print in WinMail.

    But the inability to copy the files suggest hard disk problems.  Try opening Windows Explorer, right click on the C drive and go to properties. Tools | Check out now and see if it finds problems.  You can also use the attempt to Windows Explorer to access the folders and messages to make sure there is no problem with access (try to copy directories message individually and perhaps you can distinguish a problem).  You can also try compacting and repairing the database of WinMail to ensure that it is not the question, but I doubt that this would be the case.

  • Export Windows Mail to Outlook 2003 on VISTA error "can't initialize MAPI.

    The woman has Windows Vista Home Premium installed. Using Windows Mail. We want to move to Outlook 2003. MS Office 2003 (including Outlook) was installed, was able to connect to the mail server, we use (POP3). With the help of the excellent Note Microsoft KB 196347 to export emails in Windows Mail when I choose the file, then export, then the Messages, then Microsoft Exchange, and then click OK in the popup note, I get this error: "Export could not be performed. An error occurred during initialization of MAPI". I read a lot of notes related to MAPI forum on import INTO Windows Mail, but not vice versa. NOTE: I installed VISTA family premium on my own PC, configure Windows Mail and then installed Office 2003 (including Outlook). I followed the same steps of export and had no problems. My VISTA installation is new, and my wife has been in place for about a year. Any help is appreciated! -Al

    It is difficult to understand what the problem could be.  You can try compacting and repairing the database on the machine of your wife, but I don't know if this will have an impact on the problem (seewww.oehelp.com/WMUtil/).  Moreover, as a workaround you could transfer the Bank of messages of the wife to your pc, import the messages and then export them to Outlook, and then move the PST to his machine.  See here for general information: www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx
     
    You can also consult an Outlook forum to see if they have a solution.

  • Need to import contacts and messages saved from a Windows Mail email account to another

    Recently changed ISPS but currently have two active accounts.  I would like to import/transfer saved messages and folders, and all contacts from the old account to the new account before the cancellation of the old account.  Both are configured through Windows mail.

    In Windows Mail, messages, folders, and contacts are not related to any specific email account, so remove your old account won't affect.  To check that, I just removed all my Windows Mail accounts on a Windows Vista-based computer that I use for testing.  Messages, folders, and contacts are always there.

    To be safe, you could back up the Windows Mail storage folder before deleting an account.

    Windows Live Mail works differently and requires copy/move messages before deleting an account. Boulder computer Maven

  • How import from Windows mail emails.

    I recently bought a new laptop and I use free email of Windows that comes with the computer.  I used this program on my old computer (I think it's Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail).  I exported my old emails and a subfolders and I would like to import to my new computer, but there is no option to import.  Nothing under the settings and I can not find the file menu in the new email (used t be on top right).  I exported the email fine but the screen in this new laptop (which has Windows 8) is very different.

    OT: Import emails

    Hi Said,

    You will not be able to import the mails in the mail, instead of this application if you have e-mail messages in your Windows live mail, you can synchronize your mail app outlook.com e-mail so that all emails in the outlook.com e-mail appear in Windows 8 Mail app. As an alternative, you can also install Windows live essentials in Windows 8 import back the mails that you exported and use for reference.

    I hope this helps. Let us know if you have other problems with Windows in the future.

  • How to import Windows Mail emails in Outlook 2007 on Windows 7 when getting my ERREURLa message: "file not could not be opened.

    Hello

    I have used Vista before I put now to Windows 7. On Vista, I used Windows Mail as my email client. Now on Windows 7, I would use Outlook 2007 and import my old emails.

    Before I upgraded to Windows 7, Vista help - I exported all my emails from Windows Mail on my external hard drive, where I now .eml files and in each subfolder of emails, I have a winmail.fol file.

    After I installed Windows 7 and Office 2007 now, I tried simply to import the files exported from my external hard drive by: "file-> import-> import Internet mail and addresses-> choose the folder to the top folder with the files of e-mail-> OK" However, I always get the error message: "the mail folder not could be opened. If another application is using this file, please close it and try again. "I don't understand what is wrong and what needs to be changed that it works.

    I tried the things:
    * On Windows 7 now: I activated Windows Mail and imported the exported files, which worked well. Therefore, I am currently using Windows Mail as my standard client on Windows 7. Now on Windows 7, I exported my emails again to Windows Mail and tried later import new files exported into Outlook 2007, as described above. I get the same message error ("could not mail file be open...").

    * On Windows 7: I downloaded and installed Windows LIVE Mail. Imported from my original (exported under Vista) of e-mails from my HDD external and exported them once again, in the hope that Outlook 2007 may be more willing to import files exported Windows LIVE Mail. It didn't work either.

    * On Windows 7: I opened the folder with the emails on my external hard drive and Outlook 2007 and dragged the .eml file in Outlook 2007. It worked, in a sense, that I got the emails and the content of these emails in Outlook 2007. This method is not, is to import the email title and time when he received etc. This method is therefore unnecessary.

    * On Windows 7: I've always been able to import my contacts in Outlook 2007.

    I really hope someone can help me and describe what I do to import my emails.

    I appreciate all help.

    See you soon

  • Importing saved Windows Mail folders in new Windows Mail program

    I'll have to re - set up my Windows Mail after the death of my old hard drive. I am trying to import my old files from my Windows Mail Backup in my new Windows Mail. I was able to transfer the former folders of the backup but when I go to import it recognizes not all files. The error reads: "no messages are located in this folder or another application is running...". "I read several threads and it seems I also have to transfer via a file called folders.dbx, but it is not a list. I did a complete search on my C drive and nothing. How can I get these old records imported without this file?

    Thank you!

    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.

  • Winmail.fol can't import to Windows Mail

    (1) I exported my Windows mail message in a folder.

    (2) I've reformatted my computer and then re-installed all programs.

    (3) I imported my e-mail Windows messages.

    Mistakes: After importing, I see my mail folders (Inbox, sent and other), but the folders are empty.

    If I open the backup folder, I see my folders (Inbox, sent and other) and in each folder, I see a file called winmail.

    How to open these winmail files so I can access my saved emails?

    You messages must be kept as discreet. EML files in the subfolders of the folder that you exported to.  If they aren't there, they cannot be exported properly.  If they are there, you can drag and drop them in Windows Mail.  In addition, you can search for. EML files which, again, can be move and fell into Windows Mail.

    Incident like this happens usually when you have a duplicate email account... 2 identicle accounts.
    So, are your sure to have 4 accounts, not 5?
    You can try the following...
    DELETE this account and re-create the same account. Make sure that you copy the settings first before starting to remove it.
    After re - create the same account, send a test message to this account. How many copies do you receive?
