Windows Mail import problem

I am having a problem importing my Outlook Express 6 messages into Windows
Mail. I did the import, but my Sent Items folder only imported about 680 of
my 880 messages. There were no errors or anything, it recognized that there
were 880 messages in the folder, but just stopped the import after 680
messages.

Please let me know if you have any thoughts.

Thanks!
Eric

Re: Windows Mail import problem

Do you want to be treated as shouting and get fewer answers? If so, post
in CAPITAL LETTERS.

POP 3 is not a valid server name. If you're trying to use it as one, that's
the problem. Ask telus.net for the correct server names.

If that's not the problem, you'll get more answers if you show the complete
error message.
