Importing messages for second account from OE6

Hi,

I just installed Live.mail to replace Outlook Express 6 and everything
intalled just fine for the first account. Nothing was installed for the
second account on my computer. I tried to import messages by directing it to
the storage file for the second account but I am told that there is nothing
there or it is in use and nothing is open. How can I get the messages and
contacts for the second account?

Re: Importing messages for second account from OE6

Did you try the File, Identities in WLM? There is an identity import
wizard there.

Is WLM on the same PC that you were running OE on? You can run into the
import problems if you try to import from a CD/DVD, files marked as read
only (as can happen when copied from a CD/DVD to the hard disk), from a
network drive or if the folders.dbx file is missing or corrupted.

Re: Importing messages for second account from OE6

I had the same issue with my Vista Laptop but not on XP. To solve the
problem with the laptop, first I had to import to Windows Mail. Then I
imported from windows mail to Vista.
