Windows Mail export messages to drive c: with folder names wrong and structure

I just tried to export all messages from Windows Mail on the PC hard disk and, while messages are grouped together correctly, their folder names appear to back a former name or took a completely different name.

Records do not export in the structure correct (folders and subfolders) so it is impossible to work on the file that goes where, as much as the export messages as a reference number only and not with the subject alpha (as happens when you drag and drop on the C drive in Windows Explorer manually).

Any ideas about how I cam get Windows Mail to export the current folder names, and also to preserve the existing structure?

Thank you very much, Temp.

What you see is what you get.  Essentially abandoned Microsoft Windows Mail
in June 2006 for Windows Live Mail.
To better exports, try this solution of third parties:

  • I have Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 with Service Pack 3 and I tried to run Media Center but I get an error message with ehshell.exe.

    original title: error with ehshell.exe

    I have Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 with Service Pack 3 and I tried to run Media Center but I get an error message with ehshell.exe. Could you help me?

    This problem exists since the 1st Media Center. SP2 and SP3 had a difficulty, but it is obvious that it doesn't always. The same problem still exists in Vista today with a lot of other carried over from XP. System restore would work, but you do not have any good restore points so reinstall an operating system seems to be your only option.

    You probably don't want to do an OS reinstall you need for Media Center, but since it does not at all, you might want to play then remove the Media Center updates and or SP3 and reinstall them.

  • Windows Mail wants to open all attachments with Word rather than Word, Adobe, pad etc. How can I get the attachments to open properly?

    Windows Mail wants to open all attachments with Word rather than Word, Adobe, pad etc. How can I get the attachments to open properly?

    Hello

    1. Click the "Start" menu in the bottom left of Windows. Then select "Default programs".
    2. Click on the option "Associate any type of file or Protocol with a program."
    3. Select the file type you want to change the types of files listed. For example, if you want the text (.txt) file to open it in Microsoft Word instead of WordPad, choose '.txt '.
    4. Click on the "Change Program" button in the upper right window.
    5. In the list of programs, select "Microsoft Word". If Microsoft Word does not appear in the list, click on the button 'Browse' in the bottom right and choose Microsoft Word on your computer.
    6. Click on the button 'OK' and then 'close '. The next time you open this type of file, it will open it in Microsoft Word. Repeat this procedure for any other type of file you want to open in Word.

    I opened a word from Windows Mail document, changed using Word 2007, you press on save and close the document.  Now I can not find where he saved.  I tried the search function in Vista, but it can not find the file either.  I tried to re - open the file in the email, but I just get the original version.  Can anyone suggest where it might be?

    Thank you very much

    Once you open a Word attachment in an email, you must save it to your HARD drive until you make changes. If you do not, the changes are lost, but the original attachment is still with the e-mail.

  • Windows Mail displays messages with attachments, even when they are not

    I am running Vista Business SP2 and Windows Mail 6 worm.

    Many, but not all messages display attachment in the attachment column icon, but they have no attachments.  When you click on the message, there is no icon of attachment in the message header.

    Messages that have attachments are working very well.

    Is there a setting that can be changed so that these messages that really have no attachments do not appear as they do in the attachment column?  I went through all the settings options and found nothing.

  • Windows Mail - creating message rules

    Hello:

    I created a folder named Gmail in my Windows Mail. I want to have my Gmail sent to my Windows mail. I was able to do this and now I can get my Gmail in Windows Mail in the folder I created.

    (In Windows Mail, create a new folder and then set Message rules to send any Gmail email in this folder)

    However, I don't have an Inbox, Outlbox, sent and deleted special folders like I do for my default e-mail account. I can create them, but they are not "attached" to the folder of Gmail at all and do not present as it would in the folder by default 'sent' or 'delete '. An e-mail sent from the Gmail account in my default "sent" folder will not display the Gmail folder. The Gmail folder only shows incoming emails.

    Any ideas how to do this?

    Thank you-

    Debbie Debbie

    Hello

    Gmail created, such as POP3 (or any POP account) is that you described, however you can use RULES to send
    message to the folder you want. If you set as IMAP, then your file would be active in under the account
    main folder and if you change online or in your e-mail client, they will be synchronized. However in IMAP you
    cannot apply the RULES in your email client if you could use similar on webmail IF they are available. There may be
    3rd party utilities for use RULES for IMAP.

    You can mix and thus have pop3 and imap accounts. Here are some examples if you use Google - other
    e-mail providers have probably similar at least Pop3 if some are only web based.

    c. left, double-click Custom, under Choose a default e-mail program, select Windows Mail.

    NOTE: System Restore does not affect personal files, such as e-mail, documents, or photos, so it cannot help you restore a deleted file. If you have backups of your files, you can restore files from a backup.

    Try to compact and repair the database and see if that fixes the problem (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/).  If not, then look for antivirus or other 3rd party program interference (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 of many antivirus programs are not compatible with WinMail).  But suffice it to compact and repair the database could solve the problem.
