Hi Steve
Thank you for valuable posts.
Followed your recommended steps.
WM shows an "Imported Folder" under "Local Folders" with following problems:
1. Cannot see contents of folders (see error msg below)
2. In my XP OE, I had numerous folders organised in a structured tree (eg
top-level folder, with sub-folders, with sub-folders etc). However, the
import only managed to import the first (in alphabetical order) top-level
folder with all its sub-folders; subsequent top-level folders only have the
first sub-folder showing, the rest are missing. Due to problem #1, I cannot
see any data anyway.
As I need my email, I then installed Outlook2003 and tried to import OE.
However, when i point the import program to the folder containing the OE data
(in Users\Name\Documents\OEdata), it informs that another program has control
of this folder and it cannot be accessed.
MS makes it VERY frustrating to migrate from XP to Vista!
Folder could not be displayed
Windows Mail could not open this folder.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Possible causes are:
Low disk space.
Low memory.
Yet I have TENS of GB available on HDD, and have 2GB RAM.
Any help would be much appreciated.
