| | Messages not showing in Storage Folders I have just converted to Live Mail from Outlook Express. All of my folder have been copied across and I can access them with no proplems. However if I look in a folder using Outlook I can see and access any stored emails while using Live Mail the folder is empty. Any suggestions? |

Under Imported Folders I clicked on "Local Folders" and there they were! Hope that helps.

| | RE: Messages not showing in Storage Folders I have the same problem. The missing messages in my storage folders appear to be the most recent ones that I placed there when I was using Outlook Express. There is no folder called Imported Files in my Storage Folder when viewed using Windows Live Mail.

| | RE: Messages not showing in Storage Folders Did you import your messages from OE? You have to do that first. Then you should find a folder called "Imported Files." If you imported and still can't find the folder "Imported Files" I'm stumped. "gary" wrote: Quote: > I have the same problem.

| | RE: Messages not showing in Storage Folders Thank you for your help. After manually importing the folders, all the messages were in their respective folders as you described. However, the Windows Live Installer tried to automatically transfer all my OE folders to WLM and this is where it 'botched the job'. Can this problem be solved so that future users will be spared the frustration of having incomplete folders? "Stocksandstripes" wrote: Quote: > Did you import your messages from OE?

| | RE: Messages not showing in Storage Folders I really haven't a clue as to whether Ms can or will make this easier in the future. This was the first time I ever tried getting help on a bulletin board and was successful. I just kinda stumbled in here hoping to find help myself. I'm glad my post helped you Gary!
