Recover Contacts and emails of crushed Vista/Windows mail by car

I was using a laptop with Vista and Windows Mail.  The laptop is dead, but I was able to recover the hard disk and connect to another computer via the usb port.  The intermediate computer has XP and Outlook Express or Windows Mail options.  How can I recover my emails and contacts I used in Windows Mail?  In the past when I change computers I export and import the new email client.  Because I can't open Windows Mail, I don't have this option.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Any questions about WLM should be asked in the forum dedicated to www.windowslivehelp.com you can ask about contacts there also.

I don't use it.

  • 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

  • Should have 8 000 emails in my Inbox Windows Mail (Vista) considerably slow down my computer with 3 GB of RAM and trigger alerts from Norton of "the High CPU use by Windows Mail.

    In addition, about half of my 8,000 e-mails are unread. Thus, the fact of having 4 000 unread emails in my mailbox Windows (Vista) slow down my computer more than if they were 4 000 read emails?

    If so, is there a quick way to mark all read emails as read in Windows Mail (Vista)?      .. .in windows Live Mail (Vista)?

    Even if these unread e-mails degrade the speed, is there a quick way to mark all read emails as read in Windows Mail (Vista)?... .in windows Live Mail (Vista)?

    I also regularly get an alert Norton of 'Use of disc high by Microsoft Windows Search Indexer.'  Gravity is the next, and what can I do to fix the problem?

    Finally, I have a lot of folders: would have 2,000 emails in the Inbox Windows (Vista) slow down a computer more than if 2 000 mails were one or more files?   This change of response if the e-mail is unread vs bed?

    #2: the Inbox is accessible by your computer whenever he asks new messages. The fact of having 1,000 messages in the Inbox slow it down? I have no personal experience, since I never have more than a dozen or messages in my Inbox, but it is so likely. If you have lots of free space on the hard disk, the messages would be better in another folder (s). Even if you create more WinMail's local folders and move messages to them.

    I would also say this. Try to compact and repair the database.

    How can I get Vista "Windows Mail" to check mail using my connection local (LAN) internet?

    It allows only wants to "connect" using dial-up, wireless or wired ISP (type PPP) requiring a UID and password, of which none seem to allow me to select a LAN (ISP) simple (without a password).

    I know that the Ethernet connection works Ok, because I can use it with a standard Web browser; only the mail tool can't seem to see or use.

    Whenever I tell the Windows Mail email 'Send and receive', he wants to 'connect' for remote access or one of his three choices (listed above and direct exclusion of any connection to the local network).  It works with remote access, so once I have spend that I should be Ok. but I can't make it work directly.

    Help.

    In Windows Mail, go to select Tools, accounts, your account email, properties, connection.  It shows for the connection?  You
    should leave this setting not selected, in which case Windows Mail will use the IE connection uses.
     
    In addition, under Tools, Options, connection, the first checkbox must be checked, and the second box unchecked.
     
    If everything which withdraws, but you still have the problem, the account may be damaged.  Remove account, restart Windows Mail,.

  • When I open Windows mail, I start to get the mail and I get it about 474 243. And then an error saying Windows mail will be closed because of an error.

    Windows mail - error and the same letter over and over again.

    When I open Windows mail, I start to get the mail and I get it about 474 243. And then an error saying Windows mail will be closed because of an error. And I start it again and I get the SAME email AGAIN, and again, it stops somewhere and closes.

    Anyone know what could be the problem?

    You can try to set up a new e-mail account and use the exact settings of the account that you have now.  This way, you will have a copy of the same account.  Then see if it has the same problem.  If it works and is not old, and then see if the old man works after this and remove one of them, if you do not receive the messages in doubles.

    If the new copy of account has the same problem, then it's a stuck message and your courier company should fix this.

  • How you software on Vista windows mail

    Computer took a hit of malwhere. And now it won't let me get in.keeps ask for password but still no go. How can I get rid of windows mail on vist and its beginning all over again?

    You cannot reinstall Vista share.  But the issue is the message store, and you can set up a new base of messages.  All you have to do is rename the parent directory of the message store and then WinMail will implement a new.  Navigate to the location of the message storage (C:\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows mail notes that it is hidden and you must go to control panel |) Folder options | Display and enable the display of the hidden files and folders) then go up a directory and rename the directory from Windows Mail to Windows Mail old.  Then create a new directory named Windows Mail so that it replaces the former and is completely empty.  You can then start WinMail and it will act as if it had never been run.  You can also just change the value of the root to be stored in the registry in another empty directory (for example c:\winmailstore\) and WinMail will then use this directory as the message store.  Once you do this and its no longer works, you can use the file | Import | Messages and point to the old directory, or you can simply drag and drop them into folders.

    See www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm for background on the Organization of message store and be wary of the antivirus, which leads to corruption - see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 .

    Also, before you reset everything, you might try to compact and repair the database and see if that fixes the problem (using www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/).

  • How to remove and reset the Contacts folder / files in Vista Windows Mail

    How can I delete the Contacts in Vista - and actually reset the folder so that windows treats the files ".contact" as - good contact and no text.

    Because what was going on, I decided to try to start from scratch - I just copied all the files in the folder of contacts to a archive and deleted all the files in the contacts folder.

    From Windows Mail - I am capable of was able to use the tool 'Add to contacts' and the Contact form (properties) dialog happens - but if I open the Contacts folder directly (Windows or Windows Mail 'button'), I get a window of the typical Explorer with a newlt created contact list (for example there are 6 in there now all created from Windows Mail) - if I try to open an existing contact - it opens in the Notepad - text - garbage.  (Same problem I had)

    I've been setting up with a Contacts folder corrupted since I bought my desktop with Vista in 2008 - I think I looked into the question of import then and there is no function of CSV to import the contacts (that I could find) - and / or the inport corrupted the file - so when I open a file of contacts I get the text of the file - it opens in Notepad - and not a Contact form.

    With more than 600 contacts in there, I didn't have to manually retype all data, but it's time to bite the bullet.

    Hello PaulJMoore,

    ·         Do you have just copied the contacts in archive and did not export them?

    ·         What is the extension of the contact files you copied?

    You should try to reset the contacts folder.

    1. in Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder C:\Users\(user name) \Contacts.

    2. right click on an empty space in the main pane of the middle of the window and click Customize this folder.

    3. under the type of folder do you want, click the arrow next to the model list drop-down list.

    4. click on Contacts to select.

    NOTE: Check apply also this template to all subfolders if you want to change all subfolders in the Contacts folder to the Contacts model as well.

    5. click on OK.

    The contacts created with Windows Vista are in the format of .vlc. When you try to open them to the archived location where you saved, he would not be able to access Windows Mail to open the contacts.

    First of all try to copy all the contacts in the Contacts folder on the \Contacts C:\Users\(user name folder location).

    If this does not work, try to import all the contacts that you have saved to the location that is archived using the import option from the Windows Messaging.

    You can read this article which will give you information on how to import contacts:
