OE to Windows Live
in [Outlook Express]
|
From: dama1 on 24 Dec 2009 00:46 I should have thought of this beforehand! I just bought a new PC with Windows 7, that uses Windows Live. I want to transfer e-mail folders with saved messages from Outlook Express on a PC running XP. I don't know where to start looking for a resolution, or how to accomplish this. Any input would be appreciated. Dave G.

Do not copy individual dbx files. Put the copy of the message store on the Win7 Desktop. Open WLMail and File | Import | Messages | Outlook Express and point to where you saved them.

From: dama1 on 24 Dec 2009 12:30 Thanks Bruce; I understand the process, but must reveal how much I don't know. Where do I find the "OE message store". Thanks, Dave G.

In OE: Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Write the location down and navigate to it in Windows Explorer or, copy and paste it into Start | Run. In WinXP, Win2K & Win2K3, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start | Control Panel | Folder Options Icon | View, or in Windows Explorer | Tools | Folder Options | View. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP [Mail] Imperial Beach, CA "dama1" <dama1(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:BB542A5F-583B-4E10-8DD3-9E6BB27AB1D4(a)microsoft.com... > Thanks Bruce; > I understand the process, but must reveal how much I don't know.
