| | Migrate Outlook Express to Windows Mail in Vista I am unable to migrate my folder structures, and messages to windows mail. I have pointed to the directory that has all of the MDX files, however it says no messages can be found in this folder. I am not sure what is missing. I look at outlook 6 on the old computer and it opens fine and has several folders that have been created. When I attempt the migration I make sure that OE6 is closed; Please note OE6 is on a different computer. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. |

See here: <http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/email/import-dbx-files-outlook-express-windows-mail-vista-86458.html> <http://www.vista4beginners.com/Migrate-from-Outlook-Express-to-Windows-Mail> After you copy the correct files to a directory on the hard drive of your Vista computer (a directory you create under the Documents directory is good for this), make sure the copies are read-write instead of readonly before you import them into Windows Mail. Also, import the whole directory containg these files at once, instead of trying to import these files one at a time. |
