Windows Live Mail email migration

I use Windows 8 (which I hate!) and try to import the mail on my account my account @bell.net live.com.  The @bell.net is an application on my laptop, but when I try to use the "import an application on this computer" it says that there are no applications.  I then tried to import it as an 'other' e-mail account, it is said it is important, but has been 0% for hours.  He brought a few names of folders but did not bring the contents of the folder.  It brings not content.

8 frustrated and still hate!

Therefore, it has a learning curve, but once you realize how simplified 8 is that you will love!  It seems to me that the problem is actually on the side of your email provider and not Windows, so I'll give you a quick tutorial that can shed light on things.

First, you will need probably to know if it is a connection POP3 or IMAP, that everyone uses different credentials, you should be able to know your mail host quite easily.

Once you get this understood that your incoming mail is ready to go, you will need to know your name of the incoming (like imap.emailaccount.com or pop.emailaccount.com) server and what should be your username and password.

There can be some security enabled so know what port uses the server (if this isn't a default port), and what type of authentication or security use.

Next step is that you need to find the outgoing server info, it is 99% of the time SMTP and it will be something like smtp.emailaccount.ccom - you will need to know for sure.  Whether it uses port 25 or 587 and know if she needs authentication as well - he probably does.

So you need to manually configure all of this, but your e-mail host should have instructions on how to add your account to an e-mail client.  It usually takes about 10 minutes the first time, but once it did it is always good - don't forget to check the 'Remember my password' If you're not prompted to enter your password each time you connect, change, send messages and so on.

Good luck and I would say looking at some of the key Windows 8 tutorials online, once you get the hang of it you'll absolutely ADORE Windows 8, I promise you!

  • XP: Outlook Express to Windows Live Mail - Emails have disappeared

    My boss had some problems a few months where a piece of his e-mails have been deleted.  Like a year or two of a value.  He had a ton of emails in their Inbox.  Just recently he started having the same e-mail repeatedly.  I decided to download windows live mail and install it on his computer.  It is running XP.

    I installed live mail.  He acknowledged the current e-mail account, he is using Outlook Express (POP3).  However, there is only the latest e-mail messages.  So, I went to windows live mail and click on file - import - and I imported Outlook Express 6.  He asked me what files and I clicked on the button that says it all.

    He went through the process and declared finished.  It was supposed to put the files in the storage folder.  I check the records of storage and there is nothing in the Inbox sent items folder has its old emails in them.  I looked around, in the other Inbox for the normal email account there and there is nothing more.

    I'm going to switch back to outlook express and its Inbox has no emails as well.  I'm like ooohhhh _.  If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it.

    I don't know if it compacted emails in outlook express.

    Thanks in advance - James

    For now, let's deal with Outlook Express.

    Two reasons the most common for what you describe is disruption of the compacting process, (never touch anything until it's finished), or bloated folders. More about that below.

    Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :
    http://www.insideoe.com/FAQs/why.htm#compact
     
    Why mail disappears:
    http://www.insideoe.com/problems/bugs.htm#mailgone
     
    About file Corruption:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/IE/community/columns/filecorruption.mspx

    Recovery methods:

    If you use XP/SP2 or SP3, and are fully patched, then you should have a backup of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin (or possibly the message store), copied as bak files.

    To restore a folder bak on the message store folder, first find the location of the message store.

    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, the .dbx files are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.

    Close OE and in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx to the file missing or empty file, then drag it to the desktop. It can be deleted later once you have successfully restored the bak file. Minimize the message store.

    Open OE and, if the folder is missing, create a folder with the * exact * same name as the bak file you want to restore but without the .bak. For example: If the file is Saved.bak, the new folder should be named saved. Open the new folder, and then close OE. If the folder is there, but just empty, continue to the next step.

    First of all, check if there is a bak file already in the message. If there is, and you have removed the dbx file, go ahead and rename it in dbx.

    If it is not already in the message, open the trash and do a right-click on the file bak for the folder in question and click on restore. Open the message store up and replace the .bak by .dbx file extension. Close the message store and open OE. Messages must be in the folder.

    If messages are restored successfully, you can go ahead and delete the old dbx file that you moved to the desktop.
     
    If you have not then bak copies of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin:

    DBXpress run in extract disc Mode is the best chance to recover messages:
    http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/default.aspx

    And see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4

    A general warning to help avoid this in the future:

    Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They finally are damaged. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

    And backup often.

  • How to recover contacts from Windows live mail email messages from the hard drive.

    I was download my messages to e-mail AT and T through Windows live mail (Pop3). My computer has a hardware problem and stopped working.

    However, the hard drive is fine and all the data is safe. I now have a new computer. How can I transfer old computer to the new e-mail and messages

    Windows live mail in the new computer can actuall import the old e-mail messages and contacts.

    Plug the old drive to the new computer.

    You may need to show hidden files to see the records of WLMail.

    olddrive:\Users\old Live Mail

    Drag and drop messages into an open folder of WLMail.

    If you have been given a copy of messages on the AT & T server you have duplicates.

  • How to import my Windows Live Mail email messages in mail for Windows 8?

    Before that I have upgraded Vista to Windows 8 I exported my (a few thousand) e-mail messages to save them in a folder.   Now I would like to import to Windows 8 mail.    How do I do that?

    I had the same problem, although in my case, I was trying to transfer data to a new computer of Win8 from Win7.  I wanted to just transfer my files, e-mail and contact groups, as I did with previous updates.  According to technology Microsoft Office response that I talked for about an hour, Microsoft does NOT provide a way to import data from Microsoft previous E-mail programs (windows live mail) to any application of Win8, and you can't do that with Outlook.com either.  Basically, Win8 with all tiles or such is not really a basic messaging application yet.  She told me that I have to do is to get a copy of Outlook or windows live mail on the Win8 Office part, then run as a Win7 machine.  This seems to be the best answer, until Win8 is more mature.
