| Guest | Importing Second Identity from OE Just downloaded Windows Live Mail and discovered that it automatically imported an account and its messges from Outlook Express... would have been nice if it had asked first! All looks okay, old OE is still working... BUT... I had two identities on Outlook Express and can't figure out how to import the second one to Windows Live Mail. WLM found the .iaf files for the primary identity in OE, but where do I point it for the second one? |

from in which you have deleted the .iaf files for the primary account? | ||||||||||||

| Guest | Re: Importing Second Identity from OE Don't know what happened to my reply on that last post; disappeared. I did a Windows Search for *.iaf and found nothing. Windows Live Mail found the Inbox from OE, but did not import the Sent files or the second identity. Cannot figure this out! "robertmiles@xxxxxx" wrote:

| Guest | Re: Importing Second Identity from OE The Windows search may not be set to include the directory Outlook Express uses in the directories it includes in its search. You may want to ask in an Outlook Express newsgroup how to find the directory Outlook Express uses for user files. For example: microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress Also, there's the possibility that Outlook Express doesn't keep its account information in .iaf files, and only creates them when you tell it to export the account information.

| Guest | RE: Importing Second Identity from OE Getting there... but! Figured out the .iaf business; sure enough, one was created when I exported from OE. I was able to import the account, but the files (Inbox, Sent, etc.) didn't come with it... just the setups. Still agonizing over this. "Jim Wood" wrote:
