| | Windows Live Mail message store location My OS crashed and I am reinstalling. Prior to crash, I had installed Windows Live Mail and it downloaded messages from a pop3 account. I want to make sure I import those messages when I reinstall the mail program. Can someone tell me what the file type is and where I can find it. I have a copy of everything on the drive on which Live Mail was installed. Thanks. |

| | Re: Windows Live Mail message store location Windows XP or Vista? The file type is .eml. The location of the message store folder is given here: Tools, Options, Advanced, Maintenance, Store Folder. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "StevenW" <StevenW@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:6F3C2977-26E8-4A20-BED5-34AF41BD00B1@xxxxxx Quote: > My OS crashed and I am reinstalling.

| | Re: Windows Live Mail message store location XP. Does it matter? Is there a standard location? I copied all of my files to another drive and then reformatted the hard drive to reinstall XP and thus will have to recover the .eml file manually. Any ideas on a forum for XP reinstallation issues would be appreciated as well as I cannot get XP to reinstall properly - after the initial files are loaded, the computer restarts but won't boot up or complete the XP installation. thx "Gary VanderMolen" wrote: Quote: > Windows XP or Vista? > The file type is .eml.

| | Re: Windows Live Mail message store location The path on the hard drive to the message store is different for XP than it is for Vista. Either way, that setting I gave you reveals the location. Sorry, I've been away from XP issues for some 26 months already. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "StevenW" <StevenW@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:78D935EF-0924-4F90-ABBB-55320D9F650F@xxxxxx Quote: > XP.
