Need to transfer my mail from windows mail on vista to windows live mail on windows 7 - but having problems

I know there are a lot of similar problems on this forum but no one has mentioned a problem in the transfer of mail on a hard drive. I completed the following steps:

-Mail exported from Windows Mail on my computer vista laptop to a folder on the desktop

-A tried to save this folder on an external hard drive in order to import messages in Windows Live Mail on my new laptop Windows7.

Copying starts without a problem, but coming up with an error message telling me that the files will be copied without their properties. I can then choose to continue without properties or to cancel the process.

It is for as much as I got - emails are extremely important related to the work of the conversations and I desperately need to transfer! My old laptop is on its last breath and I would like the peace of mind of having saved emails before he dies on me!

Thank you very much in advance for your help

Chloe

Hi - Thanks a lot for this suggestion. I have now managed to cross the emails. I continue when I got the message and it worked - I think that this has been facilitated by uncheck the 'read only' box in the properties of emails before copying.

Thank you so much for all help.

    Hey Sanford,

    Even if you don't usually see a hidden file, it's one regular file in all other respects. You can choose whether a file is hidden or visible by changing its properties.

    To activate the App data folder that remains hidden, check the operations from the link mentioned below on how to display it.

    Show hidden files (Windows 7)

    Given that the issue is to transfer contacts from e-mail in Outlook Live Mail 2013. I recommend you to send the query in the link mentioned below for assistance.

  • How can I transfer my stuff from Windows Mail to outlook?

    Hi people,

    I have just upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate on Vista Ultimate.  I know that Windows 7 does not support Windows Mail, so I need to switch to Outlook or Windows Live Mail.  I can't get Windows Live Mail with Yahoo (and Yahoo can help people).  On the other hand Outlook does not support the focus groups.

    I want to spend my email from Windows Mail in Outlook.  I can't find Windows Mail.  Any suggestions, tips ect. would be most appreciated. Shane

    Hi Shane,

    Thanks for posting. Windows Mail is no longer included in Windows 7. Now, Windows Live Mail is the customer, you can use Microsoft to your e-mail. You can install Windows Live Mail from the link below.

  • Transfer iTunes Music From Windows on iMac

    I am trying to help my sister. She has a very old Windows Vista laptop that is to his last breath. She wants to transfer the music from iTunes to Windows to an iMac (iOS 10.9.5).

    I tried searching on these boards without success. Both the posts that I found about this are old. Links to the answers, items of information, etc. do not work. Other solutions to the issue of link to old items outside of the Apple community where you are notified that the solution is not authorized by Apple and so on.

    Music from CD only. There are dozens of CDs. Some of these CDs are now damaged or missing.

    She wants to transfer the entire library of music. She is not interested in playlists, etc.

    Thank you for your help in this matter.

    Gloria,

    On his current machine, if the library is not already consolidated, run the command build.  Then copy folder integer iTunes to the media (USB key or external hard drive) and the media for the new Mac.

  • Transfer a program from Windows 98 to Vista

    I have a card file (.crd) from Windows 98 I've been able to put in each program, I've had since then. I have a Gateway desktop computer and a Dell desktop computer as well with Vista on it I could add my card file to the bridge, but Dell doesn't let me. All my personal information is on the cards. The error message is "the version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows that you are running. "Check your computer system information to see if you need x 86(32 bit) or 64 (64-bit) version of the program and then contact the software publisher. I've tried everything I can think of, but nothing works. Any info you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

    Cardfile.exe is earlier than Windows 95, it actually appeared back in WFWG 3.11.  In these conditions, I will assume that the Dell is a 64-bit computer.  I can tell you cardfile works on my Vista 32 installation.  If all else fails, you may need help from third parties:

  • I need to transfer my data from my iphone 6 down to a previous 5s (owned and backed up on my MBPro)

    How can I transfer my data from the iPhone 6 down to my iPhone 5s?  Thank you.  Al

    Back up and sync your iPhone to iTunes 6. Set the backup to encrypt. Then connect your iPhone via USB cable 5s and choose to restore the backup of the iPhone 6.

    Your iPhone 5s must have the same version, or more updated iOS installed on it that the iPhone backup 6. If this isn't the case, set up your iPhone 5s as a new device, update 9.3.2 iOS software and files then it from the backup of the iPhone 6.
