  This is my first posting. Don't know how much has appeared in the "title". Computer died. Past from Windows XP to Vista. Lost Outlook Express mail folders. Not in Windows Mail. (Got 3 months of e-mail entering the transfer.) I can't the old Outlook Express files?

  Have I lost the files of Outlook Express completely or is there a way that I can import them in the same way that e-mail came? My old computer died (power source grilled or something like that). I still have it, but no way to turn it on.

  If you can access the old hard drive PC you can get the data of Outlook Express store.  See this: http://www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx or this: http://www.insideoe.com/backup/ Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

  Hi Suzanne,.

  To help you to propose measures to solve the problem, I would appreciate if you could answer the following questions:

  1. what exactly does the type of computer not in order to solve the problem?

  2 he or she perform the upgrade on the spot or a custom Windows installation?

  Meanwhile, you can find the default location of Windows Mail and check if all files are present in the place.

  The default location for Windows Mail in Windows Vista is:

   

  C:\Program Files\Windows Mail\WinMail.exe

  If the type of computer has upgraded the on-site, the Windows Mail folder must be present in the folder Windows.old

  Hope this information is useful. Reply with more information about the issue so that we can help you better.

  Depending on how you have reinstalled Vista:

  Look for a folder windows.old

• Importer e-mail and addresses from Windows Mail in windows.old to Outlook 2007 in the new Windows 7

  Installed Windows 7 on a laptop last night.
  Old system: Vista & Windows Mail
  New system: Windows 7 Ultimate (64) & Outlook 2007

  Prior to installation, we have saved copies of records of e-mail and address books for the two users on a disk partition.  These same files are also still available in windows.old.

  Import in Outlook 2007 feature, I cannot select a directory where the old files/email address. He just made a kind of research and can't find anything.
  I wish that prospects to find them and convert a PST file but can't seem to make it work. I tied each combination in the functionality of Outlook 'import' and even tried to drag the old emails in the outlook Inbox (just create a new email with the .eml attachment file)

  What should I install Windows mail, that he could recognize the old addresses / and then inport to Outlook?  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_ONLY

  In 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:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/list/en-us/default.aspx?DG=Microsoft.public.Windows.live.mail.desktop

  4. you will find support for Outlook in these forums as well as in this public newsgroup:

  Good luck, my friend!

• How can I download a file of old emails from Windows Mail (not Windows Live Mail) to a flash drive?

  Left Sode of the screen of Windows Mail are the names of files where the old emails can be stored. How to find the and then download them to a file separately on aflash drive as a back-up? They can be found using Windows Explorer or by using the regular 'real estate' research given to you by right-clicking on the name of the file in the Mail window.

  Messages are stored in a hidden folder that you can locate it in Windows Explorer.  To do this go to the control panel. Folder options | View and uncheck Hide extensions of known file types and also to verify the possibility to see the hidden files and folders.  Then in Winmail opener you can go to tools | Options | Maintenance | Advanced | Store the folder to view the location of the message store.  You can then navigate to that folder in Windows Explorer and slot that you will find a subdirectory "Local Folders" and by whom are all of your boxes to the letters and messages stored as eml files.  You can copy this store of the entirety of the message, and then on an external drive to back it up.  I believe you can also use file | Export | Messages in Winmail to save outside.

  You must get the old message out of the Outbox.

  File | Work Ofline and open the Outbox. Can delete you it now? If this is not the case, see this.

• Why have I lost icon paperclip on the Windows Mail Preview pane, and font is changed?

  I suddenly lost the paper clip icon in the right corner of the Windows mail preview pane, and details giving email policies changed. Now I can't click the icon to see the attachments, but must open the e-mail and view attachments in this way.

  Migration to Windows Live Mail is a possibility, Yes, but you must know that all is not necessarily well with IE9 installed either in Windows Live Mail: see http://answers.microsoft.com/thread/82750b30-a346-e011-9575-d8d385dcbb12

  Support for IE8 will continue as long as the version of Windows, in which he is running is guaranteed (and support for Win7 will continue for many, many years until more recently released Service Pack is installed).

  Same fo WinXP SP3 (and IE6, IE7 & IE8) Extended Support will continue until April 2014.

  If the icon available in the preview pane trombone is so important to you, stay with IE8 in the foreseeable future.

  And note that the attachments are always accessible in Windows Mail w/IE9 installed once you open the message. And if "read all messages in plain text" is turned on, the "bug of police" will not appear either.

  Important: Activate security software once everything is done.

  Method 2:

  In Windows Mail

  (a) organize click

  (b) in the drop-down menu, click Layout

  (c) the menu that opens to the right should have a check box in the Menu bar

  (d) click on Navigation pane, the icon should have an area in blue highlight around it.

  Now, check if the left pane reappears

• Windows Mail telling me connection lost and unable to receive emails.

  original title: How can I receive emails?

  I have Vista home basic system. I use Windows Mail to receive emails. Use for at least 5 years. Recently I get the error message saying my connection lost. Cannot receive emails. I can send.

  It could be your ISP server is on the fritz or your antivirus software has got the update and broke things.  Check www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 and also check your account via webmail if you can to check what is not not a problem on the server side.  Alternatively, you can try to compact and repair the database to try and solve the problem (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/).
