Vista - Help - Email Addresses in Distribution Lists Messed Up

08-18-2009

I had two 100 name distribution lists in Outlook Express; when all data was
transferred to new computer with VISTA, the lists were all messed up.
Appears Windows Mail removes anywhere from the 1st three letters from the
addresses. I seems to fix those I know what the real address should be but
they keep changing (& getting between 50 & 100 undeliverables) - very
frsutrating to say the least. What's up?

How did you "transfer" this data from OE to Windows Contacts?

Does you current ISP allow one (1) message to be sent to more than fifty
(50) addresses?

Hired someone to transfer all info. No problems sending to distribution
lists in Outlook Express (had it as one group, then split up into two 6 plus
months ago). IMore concerned about Windows mail changing the addresses (I've
corrected some addresses three times & it keeps dropping off first 1, 2, or 3
letters of the address). Would using Oultook vs. Windows mail be a potential
solution.

If you hired someone to do the work, you'll need to ask that person to
answer my question about how the data was migrated.

And you'll still need to answer my other question if I'm to help you. No
further discussion until you do so.

There's a good chance that the person you hired used a method that
corrupted the contacts.

Sent message to computer man - waiting for response. So, what is the
proper/correct procedure for transferring distribution lists from Outlook
Express to Windows Mail (in case I have to do it myself)?

ISP - 50 emails messages/hour. Honestly, never had issues sending to two
100 address lists until I switched to Windows Mail a month ago.

Someone who knows OE better than me will have to give you a more definitive
answer, but I believe the OE .wab file contains the contacts as well as any
distribution lists. So it would just be a matter of importing that .wab file into
Windows Mail.

So importing from .wab has no advantage over importing from .csv?
