  Outlook Express must be installed with Windows XP by default.  If you go to Start, then all programs , it should be in the list.  Let us know if you need assistance, but it should be there.

• Import of Outlook Exp 6 in Windows Mail (Vista) mail backup files

  I have a mail file Outlook Express 6 backup, I am trying to import into Windows Mail.  I can open the dbx files but not, of course, to open them. I followed faithfully all the import steps, checked to make sure that all the files in the folder are readable (even copied to a new location to check). All the import steps seem to work fine, folders (Inbox), sent, etc. come in the form of files imported as it should-, but with none of the messages!

  I read many messages of help about it in various forums. Obviously there is something that I always hurt, but I'm at my wit's end. Any help will be appreciated.

• Convert .dbx to .pst Outlook files (from outlook express).

  Hey guys,.

  I have searched and tried all the suggestions from Google, but they are not the solutions that I can use. I have the entire Outlook Express .dbx folder just 2 files. I need to convert .pst or at least be able to import them into Outlook 2007. I was able to recover only 2 files .dbx from the old computer and am running WIndows 7 Professional with Outlook 2007 on the new computer that I want to get the 2 .dbx files in. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  Google shows some converters free and paid, and some of those paid have a trial period.
  http://www.Google.com/search?q=dbx+to+eml+converter&RLS=com.Microsoft: en - us & ie = UTF-8 & oe = UTF-8 & startIndex = & startPage = 1

  Note that I've never used Outlook or a converter, it's just a guess. When you use OE, you could drag a folder in OE messages in a Windows folder on the desktop. You can then copy this folder on another machine, open it, highlight all messages and drag them into a folder in OE. Or drag them to a folder in Windows Live Mail. I guess if you got messages as eml, you could drag them into an Outlook folder as well.

• Windows Vista mail program does not export the files all contacts

  After I exported my contacts from e-mail in vcf format windows in a new folder on my desktop, I noticed that NOT all contracts are present in the new folder.   If the contents of the folder, I show the long side windows messaging contacts which I exported the contacts I see some (to be precise, 256) are missing in the new folder. I exported 3 times, each time in a new folder and get the same results. I see that some of the missing files are group folders (apparently Windows Mail does not export to group files in vcf format) but the other files are simply not in the contents of the desktop folder.

  How can I get all the files AND folders in groups to export correctly?

  I was going to say that if you were interested in the migration of these contacts to another Vista computer, you can simply copy the file C:\Users\username\Contacts to your USB and then copy it to the other computer. Which retains all the attributes, including groups.

   

  For any other use, you're stuck fairly well with help of VCF or CSV format to export/import. Sorry, I have no idea why so many contacts are missing when you did.

   

  There is another method (roundabout). Install the free Windows Live Mail program, which will automatically import all contacts from Windows Mail. Be sure to select the option Live ID when prompted by the installer of Windows Live Mail. Therefore, you can keep all your contacts in perfect sync with other computers running Windows Live Mail, and you also have access to the contacts on any computer connected to the Internet by simply go tohttp://contacts.live.com and sign in with the same Live ID.

  "moiici" wrote in the new message: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy... *

  You said the following: " " Windows Mail is not for the export of groups. If you'd tell us what you intend to do with the exported contacts, we are able to offer a workaround solution. »

  My answer:

  I want to export my contacts to a USB key that I can take with me and be able to view them on any other PC. I have already established that if I save as the original file extension IE .contact ,, I'm NOT able to view on a computer that is running the Win XP operating system because who uses the email program Outlook Express and the file extension is .wab. I have not yet tried view the contacts vcf on Win7, but as I understand it, I should be able to view the contacts to vcf on that too.  My problem is that I'm missing 256 contacts after I export . I understand that windows Mail export NO groups, but there are only 9 groups from my list of contacts. WHY other contacts don't get exported? I'm doing something wrong and if so, what?

  I appreciate any help you can give.  Thank you and have a nice day.

• Subfolders are missing in my Windows Vista mail

  All of a sudden all my especially for the Inbox subfolders have disappeared, I'm desperate to get back. I used Windows Mail for 2 years with no problems until I turned it on a few days ago.

  The Inbox always works for the Inbox and Outbox, as well, but it does NOT show the pointer indicating the sub folders.
  
  I got CCleaner, check and repair the registry

  I have DL WMUtil and clicked on 'Repair', with no result.
  Support MS I took the Adviser and Windows Live Mail installed.

   
  All windows updates are installed, including SP1 & SP2

  I'm sure each subfolder has it's own DBX and I have what looks like the long list to save them in my F:\Downloads\Email . I see that the Inbox itself is 1.33 GB, which can be too big?

  
  All windows updates are installed including SP1 & SP2.
   
  (When introduced in several years, as far as possible C:\ has been kept for the MS OS and one very little other critics of the programs so that the Image has been observed smaller as much as possible for reasons of reconstruction and restoration.) I have years of work organized and saved and do not want a multi-hour/day sessions to rebuild if the OS crashes.   Most of the other programs have been put in E:\;        and F:\ was maintained for data)
   
  Thus, you will notice that all *.dbx files are in f, not C:\ folders.dbx was changed to folders.old, but the folders.dbx is not regenerated when the mail is opened again.
   
  NOW, I go check Mail/Local C:\Users\Carl/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows files .  There is No folder.dbx, .old, .bak, etc..   But the records that I'm missing may not be in the local folders.  Each of the files *.eml files/messages and I can click on and open one of them.
   
  So the sub folders (the typical yellow icon) appear to be in C:\
  But the *.dbx files (icon looks like a blank white page) are in F:\
  So how do them together and recognized again?
   
  Thank you

  Hi CarlP33,

  C:\Users\Carl/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows Mail/Local Folders is where Windows Mail stores data by default on a Vista machine. And DBX is not the format in which windows mail stores the data. He stores them in a format called. EML you find that is correct.

  . DBX is dead... This is the format in which Outlook Express uses to store its data. If you find these files in F:\ they could be a backup or that you copied.

  See below on how to import the DBX (Outlook Express data) in Windows Mail.

• Corrupted Windows Vista Mail export

  I tried export WIndows Vista Mail so I could import into a new machine Win 8.1. However, files are damaged and some folders and emails are missing. Any ideas on how to solve this problem? I've held last year, but did not get a response.
  

  What e-mail program you are using in the new machine? Note that the mail app does not support POP3 accounts.
   
  If you use Windows live Mail and messages seem to always corrupt, try this.
   
  To create a Windows folder on the desktop from the old machine.
  * Open a file in WinMail and drag the messages into the folder on the desktop. (They will remain in WinMail.)
  To copy this folder on the desktop on the new machine.
  Open the folder and drag the messages to a folder in the new e-mail program.
