Windows Mail Files

[GTifeld]

Greetings,

I have a friend with a dead PC and no recent backup. I pulled the drive out and have manually backed up her files myself. When she gets the new PC, I'll be able to restore all her files, but my question is about Mail.

Her old PC was running Vista and Windows Mail. Since I can't manually export her old mail folders, are there files on the old drive that I can use to restore and import into the new mail program she'll be using (WLM or otherwise)?

Thank you in advance for any information.

Regards,

--- Gary

Hello Gary, and welcome to Vista Forums.

You may be able to use the PROBLEM TWO section halfway down in the tutorial below to manually backup and restore them.

Hope this helps,
