Vista - Exporting e-mail from Windows Live Mail

Hi! I'd like to be able to export my mail to my web server (Time Warner
Cable), but I do not see a selection for that. I'm sure I probably am
missing something. I have exported my contacts to a folder, but not the
incoming messeges. Thanx all.

Windows Live Mail stores email as individual .eml files; one per email. Just
locate your message store and grab whichever file you want to upload to the
web server. Tools | Options | Advanced | Maintenanch. Click on the, "Stores"
button to find the location of your message store.

Note: If by "export to my web server" you mean putting your email messages
on your Personal Web Page for others to see, it is just a matter of
uploading the .eml file in whatever manner allows it to be displayed. If by
"export to my web server" you mean uploading your email to the Road Runner
web mail server, there is no way to do that, unless Road Runner has
something like the HTTPMail, or IMAP protocol in place. You can't put your
mail on a POP3 server from a mail client, other than by forwarding it to the
account.

Assuming you mean, transfer your WLM emails to webmail, it can't be done.

To move mail from WLM to Time Warner(Road Runner, Earthlink) forward the message. Export from WLM to import in TWC isp provider is
not an option.

I assume that you want to get existing messages into your web mail
account.

To do that, the mail account needs to support IMAP access. If it does,
set up an IMAP account in WLM. Once that is working, you can copy
messages into the IMAP folders in WLM and they will upload.

If the server does not support IMAP and doesn't not have an import
option (I've never heard of one that does), there's no clean way to
upload messages. You could forward the messages to the mail account.
But besides being tedious, the then senders and dates on the messages
will all get altered.
