• XP: Outlook Express to Windows Live Mail - Emails have disappeared

  My boss had some problems a few months where a piece of his e-mails have been deleted.  Like a year or two of a value.  He had a ton of emails in their Inbox.  Just recently he started having the same e-mail repeatedly.  I decided to download windows live mail and install it on his computer.  It is running XP.

  I installed live mail.  He acknowledged the current e-mail account, he is using Outlook Express (POP3).  However, there is only the latest e-mail messages.  So, I went to windows live mail and click on file - import - and I imported Outlook Express 6.  He asked me what files and I clicked on the button that says it all.

  He went through the process and declared finished.  It was supposed to put the files in the storage folder.  I check the records of storage and there is nothing in the Inbox sent items folder has its old emails in them.  I looked around, in the other Inbox for the normal email account there and there is nothing more.

  I'm going to switch back to outlook express and its Inbox has no emails as well.  I'm like ooohhhh _.  If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it.

  I don't know if it compacted emails in outlook express.

  Thanks in advance - James

  For now, let's deal with Outlook Express.

  Two reasons the most common for what you describe is disruption of the compacting process, (never touch anything until it's finished), or bloated folders. More about that below.

  Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :

  Recovery methods:

  If you use XP/SP2 or SP3, and are fully patched, then you should have a backup of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin (or possibly the message store), copied as bak files.

  To restore a folder bak on the message store folder, first find the location of the message store.

  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, the .dbx files 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.

  Close OE and in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx to the file missing or empty file, then drag it to the desktop. It can be deleted later once you have successfully restored the bak file. Minimize the message store.

  Open OE and, if the folder is missing, create a folder with the * exact * same name as the bak file you want to restore but without the .bak. For example: If the file is Saved.bak, the new folder should be named saved. Open the new folder, and then close OE. If the folder is there, but just empty, continue to the next step.

  First of all, check if there is a bak file already in the message. If there is, and you have removed the dbx file, go ahead and rename it in dbx.

  If it is not already in the message, open the trash and do a right-click on the file bak for the folder in question and click on restore. Open the message store up and replace the .bak by .dbx file extension. Close the message store and open OE. Messages must be in the folder.

  If messages are restored successfully, you can go ahead and delete the old dbx file that you moved to the desktop.
   
  If you have not then bak copies of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin:

  DBXpress run in extract disc Mode is the best chance to recover messages:

  And see:
  http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4

  A general warning to help avoid this in the future:

  Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They finally are damaged. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.

  Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:

  And backup often.

• Windows Live Mail goes online

  I am running Windows 7 Home Premium on an HP PavilionDesktop.   I got an automatic update of MS shortly before, I noticed that Live Mail will not go online.  When opening Live-Mail, it says offline.  When I select Go online, I get two windows asking if I want to go online.  When you click on the second question online, I get a window indicating that the recovery of mail has stopped.  Through the game, I'm able to get that remains online but it is not really online he never pulls mail.  To minimize the message window, it will always open offline.

  Hello

  This problem has been around for the past few days after updates MS. can you change to another browser like Firefox? Otherwise, please use the following method to fix (see the second answer):

  I can't send you the link, this forum doesn't allow members to post the link that has "live... on this." - you can Google "windows mail offline" and choose the first.

  Good luck.

• Windows Live Mail on Windows 7

  When you open for the first time, every day I receive "program does not" when I start to shut down I click on "Windows is checking for a solution" after a few minutes Live Mail is restarted automatically and runs correctly for the rest of the day because I use sleep mode throughout the day to minimize the hassle of restart. My ISP has reinstalled Live Mail for me, but it did not help.  I've been to twice computer repair service, they claimed they fixed it, but it came back.  You have any suggestions?  Thanks in advance

  Just ran Malwarebytes - he found 4 numbers - them - Live Mail now removed the load in a reasonable amount of time, Windows stops in a reasonable amount of time.  I think it's fixed!  Thanks a bunch!

• Windows Live Mail - deleting email address but want to keep his e-mails in a new email address

  I change over my old email addresses (3 of them - one for friends, business, work) for 3 new, different e-mail address because I changed internet service providers.

  I exported e-mails from old e-mail addresses to save to an external drive.

  What I want to do is to import them into my new email addresses in the new Inbox folders where I store the correspondence.  Then it would be emails to or from an older email address, different enter one of my new folders of files of addresses in the Inbox where I separate topics/types of e-mail by e-mail.

  I tested it and it seems to work.  I imported a file, who appeared in 'Storage files' as a ' imported '.  Then I selected all the emails in a specific folder (example: invoices) and moved them to a new folder called (different) email inbox "bills".  They transferred and I can access and read emails - the old and the new, and it doesn't seem to matter that the old emails have been associated with a different email address.

  I just want to be sure I'm doing the right thing, or if it would have the unintended consequence of do - as I play until the file structure, etc., or do something that will cause WLM malfunction later.

  Worse comes to worse, I e-mail stored on a drive for expansion, but it would be easier to have the old and new e-mail consolidated on my current WLM.

  I did the right thing, or is that a no-no?  Or is there a better way?

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  It seems to me that if you do everything absolutely right. The program does not care which account a message has been sent to or-it's just a message, so you can put it in any folder you like. The only word of caution would be to allow Windows Live Mail enough time for large numbers of newly imported or - moved message index, perhaps even in working offline at the same time to minimize interference from sync/send/receive operations.

  A good reason to use storage folders rather than files under one account to store messages to archive, is that when you delete an account, all its files and their content is permanently deleted. If it is not easy, it is possible to accidentally delete an account.

• How to import my AddressBook and emails from Windows Live Mail 2011 in Thunderbird?

  My new ISP had problems with Windows Live Mail so I'm now using Thunderbird for the first time. I've never used T-bird before so keep the simple instructions.

  A picture is worth a thousand words, they say.

  

  Apparently, the choices are slightly different after 5 years. "Import all messages from a directory '

  In the toolbar, click address book. On the Tools menu, select Import and specify the file type.

  I'm talking about opening a CSV file in a spreadsheet hereto clean up the columns and positions because it is much easier to use tools of import from Thunderbird to make. (they crack on this task)

• How to import Windows Live Mail storage folders in Thunderbird

  I am trying to import the .eml files that I have in storage files in WLM in Thunderbird. Of the help section on Thunderbird:

  Windows Mail (.eml files) in Thunderbird import is enabled by ImportExport third-party add-on tools. Download and install this add-on to transfer messages from Windows Live Mail into Thunderbird.

  However, import Tools is an as file and my computer (Windows 7) cannot open it. Although I found an online program that convert into something readable, my software virus identified the program as malware. Does anyone know a way to safely convert a file as something Windows can recognize and run?

  Or y at - it another way to get this add-on to run?

  You should have a new tab under tools at the bottom that says "import/export - tools".
  You can watch modules / Modules to see if
  ImportExportTools is installed and activated. The choice of installation it is probably fine as it is.
