Vista - WLM does not import all messages from Outlook Express

I just moved to WLM (was told it was the only way to keep monitoring my
hotmail account thtough an e-mail client) from Outlook Express (with which I
was very happy).

At first start (after installation completion) it automatically imported
account and e-mail folder info from OE. However it was only partially done.
Accounts were OK, but the most recent e-mails were not imported (1-2 yrs,
since 2007 or 2006 for some folders).

I tried to manually import them (File>Import>Messages). It gives me the
option of OE 6, finds the store folder correctly, appears to import all, but
in the end I keep having only the older e-mails.

Anyone can help pls?

In Windows Live Mail (WLM) look 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 Outlook Express (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.

By the way, Microsoft has postponed indefinitely ending OE access to
Hotmail.

Mike

Thank you very much. Will try it.

Another advantage of WLM for me would be that I can icorporate a new hotmail
account, that is no longer allowed with OE.

Thank you for your help.
