| | How do I move mail, folders, etc to new computer? I use Windows Live Mail. How do I move my mail and folders from my old computer to my new computer? I thought it would be as simple as signing in on my new computer, but that doesn't seem to be the case. -- helen108 |

This tutorial on how to do it in Windows Mail is just about the same. You just substitute the program names. Windows Mail - Messages Hope this helps you, Shawn |

| | Re: How do I move mail, folders, etc to new computer? One more thing...do I have to install Windows Live Mail on the old computer before I transfer the account information and the messages? AND, since I'm exporting the ACCOUNTS also, will I need to do anything regarding accounts on the new mail? -- helen108 "Brink" wrote: Quote: > > helen108;687621 Wrote: Quote: > > Thanks so much! > > -- > > helen108 > > > > > > "Brink" wrote: Quote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > helen108;687580 Wrote: > > > > > > > > No problem Helen.

Once you export the information from the old computer, you will not need the old computer anymore once the information is imported into the new computer. The account information will export and import in almost the same way. You may need to just double check the account settings on the new computer after importing them, but it should be the same as it was on the old computer. Hope this helps, Shawn |
