Windows Mail import a PST to outlook
I use Vista and windows mail at home, how to import my outlook pst file at the office in my mail from windows to the House?
Transfer of data from Outlook to Windows Mail requires two programs must be installed and configured on the computer used to make the transfer. Two choices:
1. install Outlook on your Vista PC. Place your existing. PST in a folder where it will NOT OVERWRITE the. PST file created with the Outlook installation. Make sure that the. PST is NOT set to read only. Open Outlook, go in "file |" Open | Outlook data file "and navigate to the." PPTM open the file. You will now have access to all your old email, contacts, calendars, tasks, etc. ; then, you can import mail and he addresses with the functionality of Windows Mail import. You can do all this with the Office 2007 trial version, you can uninstall after the transfer.
2 find an XP PC, which has both Outlook and Outlook Express is installed, attach your. PST file to Outlook on this machine and export all in Outlook to Outlook Express. Make copies of your Outlook Express. (Including Folders.dbx) DBX files and your. WAB file and place them in a folder on your Vista PC. Use these instructions to import your email from OE to WM:

To import contacts from the. WAB file, double click it and follow the prompts of the Import Wizard.

Cannot send email from Windows Mail (AOL)
HI - all of a sudden I can't send emails from my AOL account to Windows Mail. Was working fine all day and then, in the last 20 minutes, I tried sending 3 emails and they just stay in my Outbox. It looks like all my settings on tools/properties etc are correct. And when I press "Send/receive" 3 unsent mails are reported to the top with a message "not connected".
any advice on how to solve this very appreciated also urgently need send emails. I can't send them when I try to do it from my site Ouah.com either.
Thank you!
Here is the link to the AOL settings in Windows Mail. He said that Outlook Express, but that's OK. The OE and WM using the same settings.
Compare line-by-line settings with instructions, see if there is a difference.http://postmaster.info.AOL.com/IMAP/Express.html

How can I set up windows mail to work with look express mail 6
on my lap top I have windows mail on my office is outlook express 6 I like to be able to access every compotor when Iam away from them. is it possible and how?
If both computers use the same e-mail address, on both machines:
Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - Check: leave a copy of messages on the server.
On a single computer only, make sure to delete messages after X days to satisfy your allocated space that you get from your server.

Cannot send e-mail messages from Windows mail
When I try to send an email from windows mail, it gets stuck in Outlook and said I need the POP3 server. I have followed before a mode page 8 on what he should do but does always the same thing. Why do I have the server appropriate for something that has been installed before I bought my computer?
Your post makes no sense. How a Windows Mail message could get stuck in Outlook? You have an account set up in Windows Mail?
Please post any error message in its entirety. You can left click on it to highlight then right click to copy and then paste in this thread.

Windows Mail - lost old E-mail
I recently reformatted my hard drive. Before you reformat, I backed up all the data on DVD.
Now I can't restore my emails from the DVD.
Is there a way I could get my old emails that I desperately need to an individual?
It would just depend on how you have saved your emails on DVD. Have you used the available in Windows Mail export function?Note that Windows Mail import feature has difficulty to work directly with external support, then copy the files to your hard drive, first, and make sure that the read attribute is not set (as often happens with files on a CD/DVD).Gary van, Microsoft MVP (Mail)"Amoudari" wrote in the new message: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy... *I recently reformatted my hard drive.

I have been using Windows Mail with 2 AOL accounts. Recently, messages have been stuck in the Outbox with the following error message - error 10060 Socket error 0X800CCOE. I have @ 587 SMTP and POP3 @ 110. Server Info: incoming mail: pop.aol.com; Outgoing:SMTP.AOL.com. It seems to be an intermittent problem. Please notify. Thank you!
Ok. the fact that this is another error message appears:
Account: 'staff', server: 'pop.aol.com', Protocol: POP3, server response: '-ERR internal server error ', Port: 110, secure (SSL): no, Server error: 0x800CCC90, error number: 0x800CCC92Thank you!
Here is the link showing how to set up AOL in Windows Mail. The link called Outlook Express. It's okay, Windows Mail uses the same settings as Outlook Express.
Here you can compare those who have what you entered. You the incoming server is not the same as the link.

My Question is: How can I get rid of the windows mail Vista Preview pane when I open the mail program? I don't want any e-mail automatically opens in the preview pane when I receive mail. I went in the 'options' and in the reading tab disabled everything to solve the problem, but without success. I followed the info on aid as well and no luck. I used to use Outlook express on my old system with XP-Home edition and it was very easy to implement to remove the preview pane. I can tell windows mail is very similar to outlook express and I would enjoy the use of the program, if I can get rid of this darn preview pane screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated... Thank you in advance!
It is not in the options, that it is in view.

How do I import saved in Windows Mail Outlook pst file?
I saved my Outlook e-mail in a PST on a hard drive external. Now I want to restore that saved email on another computer that uses windows mail. I tried to use the "import" feature, but it does not give me a PST in option.
Hello
Windows Mail is unable to import a .pst file if Outlook is installed on the Vista computer. You can install Outlook, copy the PST on the Vista computer, open the .pst with Outlook, then you can import into Windows Mail.
Here are a few links that tells you how you can import a .pst in Windows Mail.

Maybe then Outlook will look for them in their actual location?
A little frustrated...
How did your question related to Windows Update, Al?
You cannot import data from Windows Mail directly in Outlook. See...
How TO migrate [Windows mail] Outlook (when you have only the message store files)
http://www.HOWTO-Outlook.com/HOWTO/migratefromoewlm.htm#FILES_ONLYIn your case, you must first download/install Windows LIVE Mail and then import data from Windows Mail in this e-mail client. After that, you can EXPORT data from Windows LIVE Mail to Outlook (compared to import the data into Outlook).
Yes, this is all very confusing. Adding to the confusion:
1. you must set Windows LIVE Mail as your default for mail in CUSTOM (<>) item Set Program Access and computer by default in Win7 before any function send to or MailTo will become available.
2. you will find general support for all e-mail Win7 Clients in this forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7network/threads
3. you will find support for Windows Live Mail in this public newsgroup:

Windows Live Mail - Import .pst file messages
Hello, I recently bought a new computer that is running Windows 7. My e-mail program is Windows Live Mail.
My old computer has Windows XP, and I served my Outlook e-mail program.
I saved all my e-mail messages from Outlook (old computer) to a "PST" on an external hard drive, before wiping my old hard drive clean.
I need to help the transfer (or extraction) my messages in my file .pst in Windows Live Mail (new computer).
So, to summarize:
1. old Outlook emails stored in a .pst file in an external hard drive
2. new computer running Windows 7, and the e-mail program is Windows Live Mail
3. I want to transfer my old emails (stored in the .pst file) into my new computer.How can I accomplish this?
Thanks in advance.By downloading and installing the trial version of Office 2007, add the PST to the mail profile, and then import in WLM.
BTW, if you have used the 'export' function in Outlook on your old machine, then you may well have problems with pst file that results. Unless you connect to Exchange Server, your data Outlook WERE already in a pst file. If you find my answer helpful, please click the button "Vote as helpful"! Thank you! My Blog
