Problem importing emails / folders from Windows Mail

Just downloaded WLM and imported emails and folders from Windows Mail.

Trouble is that the new folders bear little resemeblence to the folders I
have in WM and most emails are missing! When I checked the message store for
WM, this also looks nothing like the folder structure I have in WM itself.

For example there are about 20 folders in WM that have emails in there, but
the store does not list any of these folders. Anyone know whats going on and
how can i get the same folder structure with the same emails in WLM?

Thanks

Hi, LoreKai.

Do you have anything in your Imported folder? Down at the bottom, in your
Storage Folders listing. While there, you might also check for Recovered
Items.

Thanks for taking time to reply.


Yes I have folders in the imported folders - but they do not mirror how I
have them set up in WM. Also stacks of emails are missing.

When I open Windows Mail I have all my folders nicely laid out. When I look
at the mail store, there is a different structure there completely - I guess
microsoft have a way of storing things and then WM converts this into the
layout I want to see - a bit of a dumb idea really.

When the new program imports, its taking from the store. What I really
can;t get my head around is that in WM I have a folder with an email in
there. If I search my hard drive for the same folder, it doesn't exist!

If you want to ask about Windows Mail, instead of Windows Live
Mail, you're likely to get answers faster if you ask in newsgroup:

microsoft.public.windows.vista.mail

Windows Mail stores its messages in a directory that is either system
or hidden, so you'll have to enable showing them since the default
is not to show hidden or system files.
