Vista - Unable to import ALL messages

01-01-2008

Have managed to export my dbx files from OE6 on my defunct machine and MOST
of them have gone successfully into Windows Mail with Vista. Sadly, there
are still three folders which will not import because there 'is an error'. I
have deleted many messages from the other folders thinking the problem could
be a lack of space but still no luck. I have compacted the messages too.

Any tips what the problem could be please?

Thank you

The links you sent were the two I was working from and <http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/email/import-dbx-files-outlook-express-windows-mail-vista-86458.html> was particularly concise and easy to follow. I have solved the problem by reselecting the particular 3 dbx folders on old PC again and repeating the process as before. (Am able to do it without reading instructions now!) This time all messages were imported successfully. No idea what the glitch had been as am sure I did check all were not 'READ ONLY' originally, but certainly they were this time!

Cheers.
