    Strange import from Outlook

    I just imported my mail into Windows Mail from Outlook and when I went to
    read the mail, it looked like it was all in Japanese or Chinese letters.
    There didn't seem to be any real formatting and I couldn't tell what it
    said. What would cause this? I do not have Mail set to use any
    international language.

    Anyone else have this problem?

    I think there are still problems with Windows Easy Transfer. I didn't
    experience the same problem as you - at least your email were transfered
    (although they also got translated, it appears.)

    My email transfer was from Outlook Express on Windows XP Professional where
    I have 3 accounts to Vista RTM x64. All of my folders got transfered except
    for my Inbox where I had over a thousand pieces of email (I know I should
    keep my inbox clean). Not a single email in my inbox got transfered.

    Yes, am having the exact same problem. Did you find a solution?
