| | Windows mail brojen after importing mails from Outlook Express I imported mails coming from Outlook Express in Windows Mail using the Import menu. First time I opened windows Mail it worked fine and all mails and folders were correctly imported. But the second time, the folders were still present but I could not display any message (including from Inbox). And on the third time, only some folders are still present and when I want to display a file, I get a message (in French): the message cannot be displayed. I cannot either save new mails. The funny thing is that I can read my mails by closing Windows Mail and clicking directly on the eml files. Of course it is not very convenient... Can someone help me? do I need to reinstall Windows Mail -- Jean-Pierre |

However, it often helps to delete the email account under Windows Mail and then create it again. This fix was intended for something else, but sometimes helps: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/941090 If you don't know whether to use the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version, try the 32-bit version first. Certain common antivirus programs, such as most of those from Norton or McAfee, or a recent one from Trend, cause various problems in Windows Mail, although seldom immediately, so if you have such a program, remember where to find the fix - you are likely to need it again. |

| | Re: Windows mail brojen after importing mails from Outlook Express Thank you for your answer. The fix did not help. I could not delete my account because apparently it was not there anymore... I tried to create a new one but it does not connect anymore to the mail server... -- Jean-Pierre "robertmiles@xxxxxx" wrote: Quote: > > "Jean-Pierre" <JeanPierre@xxxxxx> wrote in message > news:98239B89-8811-42AF-9965-DBECBBCDE1DD@xxxxxx Quote: > >I imported mails coming from Outlook Express in Windows Mail using the > >Import > > menu.
