Merging existing separate Message Mail in Windows stores in a single shared on a WHS server message store

I recently installed a HP Mediasmart Server running WHS on my home network which has also a Dell desktop computer and a HP laptop running Vista Home Premium.

I use the name/password of user even account for the office, the laptop and the WHS server that allows me to easily share files on the network.

However, the Windows Mail message store for my user account on the desktop and the laptop are local to each machine, which facilitates the management of messages in different message stores a pain in the neck.

What I would like to be able to do is to establish a unique shared message store for my user account on the server and access them easily from the desktop or the laptop.

Windows Mail in Vista will allow me to do, and if so is there a write detailed to the top of the steps required to merge two message stores separated in a commune on the server that will be accessible to my user account on both client systems?

Thank you

Hello

Try this:

Create a folder on the Windows Home Server (WHS) to store the Windows Mail folder. Define then both computers to use the WHS location.

The default folder location where Windows Mail stores messages is:
C:\Users\(your user name) \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Local records
If you want to move the folder to another location, follow these steps:

1. click on tools and select Options.
2. Select the Advanced tab.
3. in the maintenance and troubleshooting section, click the Maintenance button.
4. in the Maintenance dialog box, click the store folder button.
5. in the store location dialog box, click change.
6. navigate to the location you want, and then click OK.
7. click OK to close the dialog storage location.
8. click on close to close the Maintenance dialog box.
9. click OK to close the Options dialog box.
You can also post your queries to the Windows home server forum, if the above does not work.

  • Separate e-mail using windows mail accounts.

    Using vista Home premium and the e-mail program. Just, I created a new e-mail account for my wife and want to keep my email separate from hers, for obvious reasons. I would like to know when I open it using the icon, if there is a way to know which account is open? With outlook express on XP you can just change identities. First, I activated his account that have downloaded messages in my Inbox.

    Separate connection of Windows that you are using? Remove your account from its instance of WinMail and his your instance of WinMail.

    If you use the same Windows login name, you can use message rules to separate incoming mail, but that a single account can be default.

    As WinMail does not support multiple identities, you might be interested by this.

  • Version 6.0 of Windows Mail in Windows Vista does not all emails that hit the server.

    Hello

    I use Windows mail, version 6.0.6000.16386. for Microsoft Vista.

    It seems tht that not every email will make it through Windows mail. I checked with my internet provider and we can see the e-mails hit the server, but it was as if Windows mail has been picking up a choice than to receive mails.

    When we access the server directly, it seems to work. Anyone can help?

    Thank you.

    Simply select the account under Tools | Accounts | Mail, then click on remove.  You will need to know the parameters to set it up again.  McAfee is known to cause problems with Windows Mail.  You will not be able to correct them if you continue to use McAfee.  Alternatively, you can try to compact and repair the database of WinMail to see if that helps (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/).

    I'm trying to merge a document via Windows Mail. Outlook Express has been replaced by Windows Mail in Windows Vista.
    Windows Mail has the MAPI ability? If I switch to Windows 7, Windows 7 mail will then be MAPI technology?
    Or I have to download Outlook to send merged documents?

    Any help would be great.

    Is - this client is MAPI or Windows Live Mail?

    Try to download the file and save it to the desktop. Right-click on the file, and then click Run as administrator.

    I have the same problem - but so far I have not found a solution! My ISP is Tiscali. If I connect & Download emails from my Tiscali account using the PC of my wife (via Windows Live Mail) all right. If I then try (with your PC off) the same thing on my PC (using the same router) I receive messages if I started the 'cold' PC, but when I downloaded the messages, the POP3 server crashes, causing a blockage of POP3. As a result, I can not any more messages (or send) until I turned off the PC and restarted. I tried to set up a completely new user account and also to move all my emails to a safe place, uninstall Windows Live Mail and then re-install, but neither radical movements has solved the problem. I also tried to switch to Thunderbird, but that didn't fix it either. There is obviously something 'beyond' Windows Live Mail which is not challenged after that the last message was received, which causes the POP3 lock. I hope that someone technical who reads this will know where and what it is and we tell how to fix this!

  • 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.

  • Is there a way to mark an e-mail as high priority when you compose a message in the application Mail in Windows 8?

    You used to be able to do that in Windows Live Mail, and you can always do it in the new web Outlook e-mail interface.

    I can't find in the application Mail in Windows 8.
    Also, when asked on twitter, @WindowsSupport actually has responded saying, they "couldn't fins of the info on it. Let us know if you find an answer"on the support forums.
    Perhaps, it can be added on a coming soon future update?

    Yes, it can be done now.

    After you click new (+) to create a new message, click show more to the left (under the Cc box). You should now see a menu drop-down labeled priority appear below the BCC box that you can use to select high/normal/low priority.

  • message "your purchase could not be completed" when you try to install Adobe Reader from the Windows store

    I try to install Adobe Reader Touch to my Surface installed Pro Windows 8.1 Microsoft Windows store.  I get the following message is displayed:

    "Your purchase could not be executed.

    Something has happened and it's impossible to make your purchase.  "Error code: 0 x 080070057.

    Only, this seems to be a problem with Adobe Reader Touch.  I was able to install applications from other vendors and Adobe (for example, Photoshop Express to the elements).  So it doesn't seem to be a problem with my Adobe account, or a problem with Windows Store system.

    Anyone have this problem?  All solutions?

    THX.

    Hi jjquinn75

    I recommend contacting Microsoft about this error message as it is returned by the windows store program.

    Furthermore, I you recommend to download the installer for Adobe reader offline using this link (Adobe - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Distribution ) and then try to install on your device pro surface.
