No mail shows in WLM

I downloaded and installed WML and then read through all the postings etc to
figure out how to import my mail from Outlook 2003, and used this suggestion.
Imported all the messages from Outlook 2003 into Outlook Express. Then
openend WLM and imported messages again from Outlook Express. It confirmed
succesfull but the only messages that show is unread messages and also only
under quick views. I did check and re-check that the option "show all
messages" is selected, but no messages show. If you use "find a message" it
finds the messages and display that but when you click on something else it
revert back to hidden.

Any Pointers ?

Make sure you're showing Storage folders at [View >] Layout > Folder
pane. Then look in Storage folders for Imported items. Click on the
little black arrow to expand the tree.

Thanks Noel, I Tried that, but everything is still the same, nice clean
screens, must say, WLM seems to eliminate the clutter completely :-)

Re: No mail shows in WLM

Were the messages in the Storage folders ?
Have you setup each email account that was in use in Outlook 03 in WLM?
Have you moved messages from the Storage folders to the appropriate email
account setup in WLM?
Once the above is complete, enable Show all messages for the respective
email account's folder.
