• 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

• 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.

• My 'main Windows Mail POP3 account' (the default).

  It takes all incoming e-mails from three other POP3 accounts in the Inbox of the account 'main POP3 '! How can I set up each account three e-mail to have their own box of reception, Outbox, sent items, Junk E-mail and other records as requires it? Is it because of the, 'DEFAULT' on the main account settings?

  Hi Dawnglider,

  Well, you will need to find another program or even to use message rules to divert the emails from different accounts to different folders.  I don't know any other program that will do that with Windows Mail, then maybe you need to look for other e-mail programs.  I don't quite know which have the feature of Outlook Express identities, but I'm not an expert on other e-mail programs.

  see you soon,

• Duplicate in Windows Mail emails

  Of nowhere, I started to receive emails in double in one of my four accounts in Windows Mail.  All accounts are with the same provider on the same server.  If I uncheck 'leave a copy of messages on the server', I get more duplicate emails.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Unfortunately, simply the deselection of the option is not practical.

  Thank you.

  Thank you.

  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?

• Moving the file documents in Windows Mail email messages?

  My system crashed. Fortunately, I had my files backed up using Norton 360. I restored files, except my emails and contacts restored to a file in the folder my documents. How can I move them to this folder in Windows Mail?

  Just for the heck of it, try this. (This works for EML files).
   
  Right-click on a backup message and drag it to an e-mail from the window folder and select copy here. If it appears, you know what to do. If not, someone else will have to help out you.

• 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.
