If you want your old contacts, bring along the .wab file. After you copy
the
files to a directory on your new hard drive, but before you import them into
Windows Mail, make sure the copies are read-write instead of readonly.

Re: Import folders from Outlook Express to Windows Vista

Thank you Robert. This information helped, however, it did not import all
of the folders I highlighted, trying to figure out why?

Re: Import folders from Outlook Express to Windows Vista

The import often fails if the file you are trying to import is readonly
instead of read-write.

Did you get all the .dbx files, including the one that is an index to the
others
but doesn't contain any messages? Are the copies on your hard drive
read-write instead of readonly? Are you telling Windows Mail to import
the whole directory containing them instead of one file at a time? If you
want your old contacts also, did you bring along the .wab file?
