| | how to migrate OE to Vista Mail ? I recall from a friends XP computer that it was impossible to migrate from Outlook Express to Vista Mail (since OE doesn't exist in Vista) Is that still true ??? There is no way to take the entire OE file, with all the messages & embedded attachments and migrate to Vista ????? That's just nuts if true ? What do I do with my years worth of formatted emails, and sports schedules, documents, and all the other attachments ? Are there any alternatives that will retain my OE file in the Vista world ? -- ---------------------------------- "If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something." - Steven Wright |
