Problem importing email files from Outlook Express to Windows Live Mail. Not all the imported outlook express folders are visible

I followed your instructions and now have "storage folders" visible. However that a single user account recorded message records showing if you keep double clicking and scrolling down. There are 3 other user accounts whose records are not visible. I tried as well by importing and using Windows Easy Transfer for all alphanumeric codes in Outlook Express. I signed into Live Mail using the other our of the user, but this does not solve the problem... Please tell us how to transfer files from my old computer Windows XP to the new W7 mail.

Transfer of data from Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail:
 

For Messages:
 
Copy the * ENTIRE * OE message store folder to a flash drive. (Folders.dbx must be included). Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail.
 
V-2009: open WLMail and: file | Import | Messages | Microsoft Outlook Express 6, and the point where it was saved.
 
V-2011: Menu button. Import Messages. Microsoft Outlook Express 6, and the point where it was saved.
 

Location of OE message store:
 
In OE: 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, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.
 

For addresses:
 
Open the address book in OE and file | Export | Address book (wab) and save it to the desktop. Copy it to a flash drive. Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail.
 
For WLMail 2009: Open list of Contacts in WLMail, (go |) Contacts in the Menu bar) and the file | Import | Address book (wab) Windows and the point where you saved it.
 
For WLMail 2011: Switch to the contacts window (click on the book icon to the address at the foot of the folders pane, or press Ctrl-3). Click on the import button, select address book (wab) Windows and point on where it was saved.
 
Note: If you use a CD or a DVD instead of a flash drive, after placing on the new machine you must remove the read-only attribute in the properties before you import.
 

For the account settings:
 
In OE: Tools | Accounts, select the account and export it to the desktop. This will be an .iaf file. Copy it to the new computer and WLMail desktop: tools | Accounts and import the settings from the location you saved the.

  • Show a total number of emails in Windows Live Mail, not only the total number in each file.

    Windows Live Mail on Windows 7-

    Is there a way to display the total number of emails you have? as opposed to simply show how many e-mail messages are in each file?

    In the section filters, it is customary to say: email unread (12).

    I did what you say.

    Now, in the views section fast, he added another line, so he said:

    Unread mail (12)

    All emails (12)

    But I know a have a few thousand emails into different folders, so, over 12 emails.

    I remember for a long time with a program called Eudora, I think, and he had a page that listed all of your files, with the number of emails in each file, and a total of all THE emails at the bottom.

    Of course, I can add them by hand, but just thought it might be something that, for me, added.

    cranberrymix,

    In my WLM 2011, category "All electronic" shows only not reading the mails for all accounts. Once the emails are read, the figure in brackets will be gone too.
    I think that it is applicable to your case.

    One last thing, if you left click all emails, you will see a long list of e-mails.

  • Windows Live Mail - not all received emails are displayed in the Inbox

    I get emails in Windows Live mail. I do not see some of them in my Inbox but they shows in Quickview unread. When I read one, it does not appear in Quickview no read more (I expect) but I do not see any Inbox in Quickview and its still not in my Inbox. If I do a search in Live Mail it does not appear, but if I search using the search for Windows 7 it finds and displays the path as being in the Inbox. Any ideas?

    While in the Inbox: view | Current view. Make sure Show all Messages is checked and nothing else. If this does not resolve the problem, please ask the Windows Live Mail Forums

  • Windows Live Mail not send or receive e-mail messages from a Hotmail account

    I hope that this has not been answered previously, I searched the site for answers, but nothing helped.

    Quick description of the problem:

    As a result of an impending change of internet service provider & lose the long date E-mail address associated with the supplier, thought that it is appropriate to create a Hotmail account to avoid losing another email address in the future.

    Windows Live Mail 2012 is not playing ball, but when you add the Hotmail account details that have been set up, I get an error message which is: -.

    Can't send or receive messages for the Hotmail account (NRaccts).

    Server error: 3219
    Server: 'https://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v2.0.0/Sync.aspx '.
    Windows Live Mail error ID: 0x8DE00005

    I use Windows 7 Professional & have not had any problems before with Windows live mail.

    I note that a new Hotmail folder has been configured in Windows Live Mail & when I click on I see a message that says that "Windows live mail is synchronize the accounts.»  Check back in a few minutes"However this updates never & when I press send/receive I get the above error message.

    Would appreciate any assistance with this question please.

    Thank you

    I assume you have an hotmail/outlook/live email address.

    Microsoft migrates all users to a different format.  WLM can be used, but may not be used in 'delta-sync '.  It must be used via IMAP.

    You must have the latest version of WLM

    You must remove the current account (after the registration of your data) and reinstall using IMAP

    IMAP for PC

    Server of incoming IMAP mail

    IMAP - mail.outlook.com
    Server port for incoming IMAP mail: 993; Encryption: SSL

    Outgoing mail SMTP server

    SMTP - mail.outlook.com
    Outgoing SMTP mail server port: 587; Encryption: SSL (TLS)

    Server requires authentication (THE)

    For more information go here

    IMAP for MAC

    Outlook.com does support IMAP and SMTP.

    Incoming server:
    IMAP: imap - mail.outlook.com
    Port: 993
    Encrypted connection: SSL
    Outgoing server:
    SMTP: smtp - mail.outlook.com
    Port: 25 or 587
    Encrypted connection: TLS
    Username: your username
    Password: your password
    This does not work on mac os x mail unless you disable the pop in your first outlook.com account. If you have mac os x mail and you do not disable the pop in your outlook.com account first, mail will be automatically set up pop and smtp.

    I can't send or receive emails from Windows Live Mail. Receive the error code 4402. I can send and receive emails from my Windows Live hotmail account. In Windows Live Mail, it also says my server is an http / imap server. Can it be replaced by a pop3 server, so, how? Thank you

    Well, took me a few hours and without the help of a person (TIP!), I've fixed it. Remove the live mail client account and re-apply / restore the account. Solves what seems to be a sync error. -19 October 2011

  • Recovery of emails to a deleted account in Windows Live Mail 2011

    Hello

    I recently installed MS Outlook on my PC.  As such, I wanted to avoid future e-mails sent on behalf of Windows Live Mail that I now want to use it just for Hotmail.
    In order to test the Outlook installation, I thought I want to remove my account from Windows Live Mail in the understanding that it would simply be the future email delivery.  However, it seems surprisingly have removed all traces of the account and all associated records.  These appear to be no cases on the hard drive at all and even do a system restore did not return.
    I can't believe for one moment that Microsoft would be so easy to lose so much important data so easily and would appreciate some advice on how I can restore or access these emails.
    Thank you

    The warning appears only for POP3 accounts, but it always appear for these accounts. Other accounts (IMAP, HTTP) keep all messages showing in WLMail on the server, so remove such an account will result in no data loss.

    If you are using Windows 7, you can restore a previous version of your storage folder.

  • WIndows Live Mail GONE / ALL email folders disappeared, no e-mail, project or removed!

    When I turned on my desk today, out of nowhere, ALL of my folders in Live Mail e-mail had disappeared completely, there is no emails in my project, sent and deleted folders, and I only had Inbox emails of yesterday and today.  I have about 30 cases for clients, and they are my lifeline, as are sent and drafts.  The Inbox started slowly loading of emails, but still no sign of missing files.

    When I went to restart my computer to try again, it is said now that "Live Mail cannot start the application was unable to open the direct mail message store and cannot locate the database of messages and files are missing, but are in a situation of"orphan"? ". And when I say OK or CANCEL, he said "WLM cannot start the application could not open the WLM message store.»  Your computer may be out of memory or your disk is full"- which are filled for the record.

    Help!?  I need Live Mail return, WITH my files, and the Microsoft insured subscription I paid $150 for magically cannot stop with Live Mail?  What the heck!

    Lprijthors

    Please look here on your computer. If you use windows live mail (e-mail client) there should be data there.  If there is copy somewhere else and then run this to try and fix WLM

    The default location is C; \user\your name\app user data (can be invisible - later) \local\Microsoft\ windows live mail

    (app data are hidden you must go into Control Panel (depending on operating system) > folder options > view > display the hidden files and folders)

    If you currently have problems using Windows Live Mail, please try to fix it by following these steps:

    Type "Wlarp" into the search (without quotes of course), and then press enter > fix all programs WLE

  • How to get to e-mails from account deleted in windows live mail

    I deleted my windows live mail client POP3 e-mail account. I want to access the emails that must have been registered locally. Where can I find the file containing those emails once the account has been removed from the windows client live mail

    Create the folders that you need in records storage (right click on the storage folders section and select new folder). In the account folder, select a message, then press Ctrl-A to select all. Right-click on a message and select move to folder, and then navigate to the folder that you just created.

    It is also well to work offline before you undertake an exercise like this and give sufficient time to perform the move, then re - indexing messages in their new location to Windows Live Mail, and then moved to normal tick-over.
