• Importing saved Windows Mail folders in new Windows Mail program

  I'll have to re - set up my Windows Mail after the death of my old hard drive. I am trying to import my old files from my Windows Mail Backup in my new Windows Mail. I was able to transfer the former folders of the backup but when I go to import it recognizes not all files. The error reads: "no messages are located in this folder or another application is running...". "I read several threads and it seems I also have to transfer via a file called folders.dbx, but it is not a list. I did a complete search on my C drive and nothing. How can I get these old records imported without this file?

  Thank you!

  Windows Mail does not dbx files.  Copy the store directory of all message on the desktop of the new machine.  Then right-click on the file and go to properties and make sure that they are not read-only.  Then go to file | Import | Messages in WinMail and choose the format from Windows Mail 7 and point to this directory.   See also here for general information: www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm
   
  If you can not always get messages in folders, you can create a new folder in WinMail and open it so that it displays a list of empty message.  Then, open up one of the subdirectories containing eml files in Explorer and drag an eml file on top of the list of message empty folder and drop and you will see it is embedded in the file.  Once you get a job, you can drag and drop all eml files at a time, as long as they are only the eml files.

• . All of my Windows mail folders were empty and all applications on the toolbar are dark, when I turned on the computer. How can I get back them?

  My husband and I share the same email address and use the same computer.  All e-mails and applications on the toolbar 'his side' of the computer are very good, but me disappeared including send/receive.   I got emails that I downloaded, but do not read.  There an idea of how to recover emails and applications?

  It is not at all what you mean by the 'toolbar '.   You use Windows Mail in Vista?  If so, you can search the *.eml try to locate emails (see www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm for background), but you will need to provide more information, because it is not clear if you do not see the files or toolbars in WinMail (try to view |) Page layout) or if your all start menu disappeared.  You can also try a system restore, but it seems that you should also check for viruses and malware, according to your description.

• Inbox folders Windows Mail containing stored messages have disappeared

  I received the alert message - "the message store was damaged by an external application in Windows Mail." - can someone help me please restore Inbox folders

  Norton strikes again.  This is why we should never operate an email scanner.  Norton has developed a problem (who ALWAYS does) and ate your email.  How to get it back, it would be a question for the good folks at Symantec customer support.  If you can open these files backup and access to the. The EML files they originally contained, you can drag in Windows Mail folders to retrieve them.  In any case, you need to get rid of the Norton email scanner.  Uninstall Norton 360, download and run Symantec "Norton Removal Tool" to clean up all debris from the unistaller is unable to remove, and then reinstall Norton by using the custom installation choice where you choose do NOT install the enamel of crawl components.  Analysis of electronic mail is completely redundant, offers zero protection, delayed, and, as you can see, has a habit of creating considerable difficulties where none would otherwise exist.  You are fully protected against anything and everything available by e-mail you provided scanner file resident of keeep Norton update.  Symantec email scanners have proved be the largest source of unique disorder exists for Windows Mail.

• How to keep each "open in Windows Mail file"?

  I use "Windows Mail" folders as a workbook.  But when I open or try to put something in a folder it opens and it takes forever to get to where I want to msg to go to.  Is there anyway I keep opening for 100% and just open the subfolder that I need?

  Why have they changed it in Outlook Express, that was such a good and well-organized program?

  Thanks in advance for the help!

  If you have 10 subfolders under one main folder, you do not see them all or none. It was the same in OE. If you want to 'post a message', expand the folder tree and drag the message into the folder wanted.
   
  Unless you make to each folder a subfolder of the folder above instead of the main folder, it should not take longer to get where you're going, regardless of the number of subfolders.

• Can not save attachments in Windows Mail in Vista Local folders or subfolders

  I have a new Vista 64 system and I have actually two problems.  First of all, I can't move old emails (more 2 G total) of my XP Outlook Express email on my old laptop in Vista 64 - bit Windows Mail on my new desktop.  Files folders and the content may be downloaded, but have not been recognized and installed by Win. Mail.  I talked to several computer technicians who could not find a solution except either to send the emails from old files individually or as a group to myself to my server (Yahoo more).  Is there a better solution?  Secondly, when I send my self a such email with multiple attachments and I try to save, I can't find a thread that will lead to my Windows Mail > local folders > Inbox >(folders and sub-folders).  Nor can I drag-and - drop these saved emails (they contain many different endings) to these files. Help, please.

  Hello Mmmaltby,

  Thank you for using Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

  A common method to transfer everything via is to use the Export command in Outlook Express to save all messages and contacts to separate files, copy them to the Vista PC and then use the option import (on the file menu) to import the data into Windows Mail.

  If please reply and let us know if your problem is resolved or if you need more help

• Outlook Express 6 emails were stored on an external drive and are stored in folders with the name of people. Is it possible to import them to Windows Mail on Windows 7?

  The strange things about this is that the mails are visible when you view them via Solution Explorer and they can be added to Windows Mail one by one.  However, they do not seem to be in a dbx file and they are not imported when the folder is selected.  Don't know how all these emails got it sorted by name of the person (in the folders).

  First of all, please note that Windows Mail is not provided and does not normally work under Windows 7. Perhaps mean you Windows Live Mail, which is a differnet program and also does not come with Windows7, well that many manufacturers together with the computers they sell.

  However, there are solutions that allow you to run Windows Mail in Windows 7, so, assuming that you've used such a workaround, please read here:

• Windows Mail - can I consolidate records 'Local Folders' and 'IMAP '?

  I use Windows Vista Home Premium. I had already set up Windows Mail with a local ISP, which went bankrupt. So there are "Local Folders" put in place for this account. I can't use this address, so I now set up Windows Mail with my new provider, via IMAP. Who created a new set of records, so now that I have two folders box, reception, two sent items folders, two project files etc. I tried drag - move, but they will not move. Is it possible I can group these together so that, without losing any content, I have only one Inbox folder, for example?

  DQ J

  Not if you use IMAP.  You can use pop.  IMAP the local client has reproduced what is on the server which is good if you have several devices, but you can create local rules or manage local folders.

  BTW, if you change from IMAP to POP, you need to backup your data (which you should do anyway)

• Total deletion of emails and folders using Windows Mail

  I use Windows mail, last night (10/07/13) wiped my entire email, folders I created, everything. The only thing is that there are records of statndard. I was on a pop 3 and since his arrival in South Carolina last week and get rid of verizon I don't know what happened. During this time, he had 17 updates from microsoft, which had started the download as well. I tried to clean my system with Evidence Eliminator and this is the first time, this never happened. I was a sure stop where he cleans your files and then is supposed to be closed, because there no I did a manual stop with the power button when it started 17 updates, rebooted and then I check my emails and everything has disappeared? HELPPPPPP!

  Do a search for *.eml and include the hidden files and folders. See if get you what it is.

  You can also try a system restore. Not likely to work, but worth a try.

  Time to start backing up your messages, I think.

• Windows Vista had to be restored on my computer. I lost my e-mail folders that I had saved. Is there anyway to restore these files?

  E-mail

  MY Windows Vista had to be restored on my computer.  I lost my e-mail folders that I had saved.  Is there anyway to restore these files?

  Messages are stored as eml files.  Is there no eml files, then there is no message.  Check in the windows.old directory if there is one, because it may contain old data.  The location of the message in Vista store is c:\users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows mail, so you might check there.
