Re: Error Message Importing from Outlook Express to Live Mail

Whenever you import from anything, the messages will still remain in the
original location with a copy in the new location.

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.
