Transferring email messages from Live Mail back or to Outlook Expr

Is it possible to transfer emails in the Inbox and Sent folders in Windows
Live to Outlook Express?

Internet Explorer 7 was accidentally selected and Windows Live Mail took
over as the email program. I want to go back to OE and remove Live Mail as a
program.

You can drag the emails from WLM to OE. Both programs can run at the same
time.

IE7 has nothing to do with WLM being the email program. You installed WLM
separate from IE7. WLM takes over as the email program when you install it.

RE: Transferring email messages from Live Mail back or to Outlook Expr


Both OE and WLM are open. As soon as I highlight a message in the WLM Unread
email folder and try to drag-and-drop it in the OE Inbox, I get the black
circle with the slash mark indicating that this operation can't be done or
isn't allowed. What do I need to do? Also, is it possible to highlight the
entire contents of the Unread email folder in WLM and move all of them at one
time?

Thanks for your help.

Drag the messages from the WLM message store to an open folder in OE.
