    Transfer from Outlook Express 6 to vista and not all mail came through?

    Today, we upgraded our computer and used the easy transfer cablesand easy
    transfer wizard to transfer all our data from old XP professional computer
    to new vista.
    Everything seems to have gone OK - BUT - only transferred older folders and
    emails. There is nothing past August 2007 that transferred...I can still see
    all the mail in my inbox and the recent folders...Why did the rest not come
    over and how do I single out these hundreds of emails I need to keep.
    Many thanks and Happy Halloween. :-)

    I have performed the same conversion and have the same problem. I hope
    someone can help.
