Move OE personal folders to WLM

Hi

1. How does one move all the Personal Folders with included email
messages from OE to WLM?

I have done an Folder import but it did not move over all the emails in all
the Folders. Interesting it moved some pre 2008 messages, but no 2008
emails.

2. I have also had trouble moving over the Contacts completely. I ended
up with duplicates, and some of which were not Complete. Finally I erased
all the contacts in WLM and did an Export (Comma separated file) from
Outlook, and an Import to WLM.

3. Where does on find installation instructions for WLM?

Thanks

Don

Re: Move OE personal folders to WLM

1) Did you look in WLM under Storage folders, Imported Folders for your
imported messages?

If you still have a problem, you can use a double drag-and-drop to move
messages in either direction between WLM and OE. Create an empty
Windows folder. Then in OE select all the messages in a folder, then
drag-and-drop to the Windows folder. Then select all the messages in
the Windows folder and drag-and-drop into an WLM folder of your choice.

3) Some information is here:
