| Guest | How can revert or reconvert WLM .eml files back to OE .dbx files? Windows Live Mail renamed all my .dbx files to .eml files and now are only are opened with WLM- It's imposible to view or open them with Outlook Express Maybe i did not inform myself properly before installing WML but I don like it... I can no longer open any of the renamed .dbx to .eml files with Outlook Express. Does anyone knows how to revert or reconvert eml to .dbx files? Will uninstalling Window Live Mail make me loose my files? |

| Guest | Re: How can revert or reconvert WLM .eml files back to OE .dbx files? Your old .dbx files should still be intact and located wherever the OE store folders were set. During installation of WLM it detects OE and brings over all of your messages and they are converted to .eml files in the WLM store folder. You should still be able to open OE and access the messages from that time. If you are asking about converting messages that were downloaded by WLM after the conversion, I don't know of anyway to do that. The only options for Export in WLM are to Outlook or WLM. -- Quote: Quote: Quote: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> "Rodriguez Peña" <RodriguezPea@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:3B5DD640-6E05-430A-819F-FFC06CB2B57E@xxxxxx Quote: > Windows Live Mail renamed all my .dbx files to .eml files and now are only > are opened with WLM- > It's imposible to view or open them with Outlook Express > Maybe i did not inform myself properly before installing WML but I don > like > it... > > I can no longer open any of the renamed .dbx to .eml files with Outlook > Express. > Does anyone knows how to revert or reconvert eml to .dbx files? > > Will uninstalling Window Live Mail make me loose my files? > |

| Guest | Re: How can revert or reconvert WLM .eml files back to OE .dbx files? Hello, The method I use is to drag & drop the eml file from explorer to the window of an opened folder, i.e "Import Messages". -- Regards Aski "ric" <cooblob@xxxxxx> a écrit dans le message de groupe de discussion : 48778FA1-8432-46E1-88A5-09BE6EF46C48@xxxxxx...

| Guest | Re: How can revert or reconvert WLM .eml files back to OE .dbx files? WLM doesn't use or convert .dbx files. It will import the data contained in ..dbx files. Your .dbx files should still be wherever they were. If you want to move WLM email back to OE, simply drag the .eml files into the OE folders. -- Vista Home Premium 32 SP1 http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview "Rodriguez Peña" <RodriguezPea@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:3B5DD640-6E05-430A-819F-FFC06CB2B57E@xxxxxx Quote: > Windows Live Mail renamed all my .dbx files to .eml files and now are only > are opened with WLM- > It's imposible to view or open them with Outlook Express > Maybe i did not inform myself properly before installing WML but I don > like > it... > > I can no longer open any of the renamed .dbx to .eml files with Outlook > Express. > Does anyone knows how to revert or reconvert eml to .dbx files? > > Will uninstalling Window Live Mail make me loose my files? > |
