Exporting back to Outlook Express V6

Hi Guys,

Is there any way to export messages from Windows Mail back to OE6.

Re: Exporting back to Outlook Express V6

Not yet. But you can select all messages in a particular local folder and
copy/paste them into a Folder you create with a similar name, i.e., Inbox,
Sent Items, etc. Then either copy them to another partition or a USB memory
stick or SD card and do the reverse in Outlook Express. It's a PITA but I
suspect there will not be a revert to OE6 procedure set up in the future.

Re: Exporting back to Outlook Express V6

Should have said "drag and drop" them into the Explorer folders you create
so that they retain the EML file extension.

Re: Exporting back to Outlook Express V6

Its not a PITA. Just drag the eml files from WinMail into an OE6 folder.

Re: Exporting back to Outlook Express V6

Haven't tried that yet in Vista. How is the OEToolV version coming?
Earlier one you sent does not seem to work in this build.

Re: Exporting back to Outlook Express V6

I'm busy with my new business. I haven't worked on either much yet.

I meant OEX for going from Vista back to OE. That will work now. OEX has
issues right now running in Vista, but the other way should work -- to
import from the eml file directories.

Re: Exporting back to Outlook Express V6

OK, thanks for the update. Knew it worked for XP but thought from your
note, you had something going on with Vista. Hope the photos are
selling well. They sure looked nice.

Best.
