Unable to import the mail express outlook in windows live mail

I have a new computer running Windows 7.  I have used Outlook Express on my old XP computer.  I found the file on my old computer with emails, folders, etc... and have it on my new computer under documents.  I tried to import the folder and I get an error.  I have many subfolders and so I decided to import them one at a time.  I was able to import a folder, but I can not find this folder now in Live Mail.  I get errors when I import the Inbox, too.

So, where can I find my mail any and no idea on the Inbox import error.  It does not say what is the error, just says: an error has occurred.

Thank you.

Yes, I checked and folders.dbx is here.  In my quest to solve this problem, I found a site where someone had the same problem and found the file has been marked read-only (not the check mark, but the box has been filled).  I checked that and mine was the same way, I correct and it goes back to the box being filled.  I am really confused and might have to find an another e-mail client that I use.  I have a few I need to access important emails.

If you have access to your old computer, create a new identity.  Import your messages from the old identity.
If the import without problems messages, then your old OE store folder is ok.
If the message import, then your old Bank of OE has problems and will not import the messages to another program.

  • Import of email in outlook in windows live mail

    Hello

    Recently, I have set up a new computer and started using Windows Live Mail, Windows 7 Home Premium.  Since then, I decided to use Outlook 2010 instead of Live Mail.

    On the Windows Live Mail Export Panel, there are two options, "Microsoft Exchange" and "Microsoft Windows Live Mail".  Which one should I use to then import into Outlook 2010?

    There are many options in the export and Imprt Wizard in Outlook 2010.  Which should I choose to import my exported Live Mail messages?  I imported my contacts with success, but the mail left me speechless.

    Thank you much for the help.

    You have received what seems to be confusing advice.

    The CORRECT of WLM to Outlook e-mail way export OF WLM in Outlook.

    Choose the Exchange option and then you get another option to choose Outlook.

    The reason for which you export from Windows Live Mail, it's who will keep the date change on all your message. If you IMPORT into Outlook and then the modified date is changed on all your messages, to the date of their importation.

    Outlook uses the field modification date to the date of the sent items, as well as for archival purposes.

  • I need to disable the slide show feature in Windows Live Mail 2011

    I asked the question back here December 7:

    I have a list of disks that I send that contains some pictures. Is there a way to disable the slide show feature is not there when I send this list. Also - for some reason, it is much more difficult to add to my list because I went from Windows Outlook to Windows Live Mail 2011. No idea why it is difficult to make additions to my list?  Thanks - Bob
     
    It was the response I received from Michael Santovec:
     
    (1) turn off picture messaging
    WLM 2011: ALT + F, Options, mail, compose - uncheck: message to convert to e-mail photo when you add photos

    While composing
    WLM 2011: Insert (ALT + I), simple Photo or attach file

    There is a solution to avoid the send from Windows Explorer forcing picture messaging in WLM 2011 despite the program settings.

    When you select to send, accompanied of a record no graphic images.  This could be just a file dummy.txt which is located in the same folder.

    You will always have the ability to resize the images, but they find themselves attached instead of a mail of the photo.  You can then right click on the file dummy.txt and remove it from the message before sending it.

    An another workaround if you are connected with a Live ID account in WLM is right click on the album in the message composition window, then left click on the tab tools of Photo Album that highlights in the Ribbon, and then the trombone to convert attachments.

    Now, I'm not much more than a 'computer' man so maybe I did something wrong but the instructions above do not work. And now things have become even worse:

    -now, I try to download my list several times before it actually works. Most of the time part of the page or the whole page becomes completely black.

    -the few times that I can send my page and send him off to someone it takes about 5 to 6 minutes to go from my Outbox sent items.

    I really need to turn off the slide show feature in my windows Live Mail 2011, otherwise I'll have fet another e-mail provider that is not something I want to do. I really don't like the new look of WLM 2011, but this problem with the slideshow feature drives me crazy. Any help here will be greatly appreciated - Bob

    P.S. I thought to return to Outlook from Windows, but since I am on Windows 7 is apparently not an option.
