Problem! emails transfer from Vista Ultimate to Vista Ultimate

Hello,

I have re-installed Windows Vista Ultimate in my computer. But, I have kept
a copy of the old Windows (Vista Ultimate) Mail folder. How can I transfer my
old emails to my new Personal folders?

Thank you.

You can use File | Import | Messages and point to the old folder or you can
just create a folder in WinMail and then drag the eml files from Explorer
and drop them overtop the message list for that folder to incorporate them.
My OEX program (www.oehelp.com/OEX/) also lets one import from a directory
of eml files.

Re: Problem! emails transfer from Vista Ultimate to Vista Ultimate

Thank you very much for your answer.

But it did not work. On reading the oehelp.com i found out that i have not
backed up the three registry keys. Is there still a way to tranfer my email
files?
