Thanks for your feedback. Thanks for the reply, but I'm confused. That can't be right. For years, people would dump on Microsoft, but I thought they were just complainers. Then I upgraded this new at the time computer to Win 8. It was made doubly bad when the outcry by desktop users resulted in only an almost insignificant change in 8. I was so disgusted I put this computer in the closet for years and continued with my older XP computer. But then I heard that Win 10 was ok, so I hauled this computer out of the closet and made the upgrade from 8.
It seems ok. XP is now too old, I have to upgrade. This computer with Win 10 is still too new to scrap it has an i7 processor. I guess I'll have to research other email options for use on this Win 10 computer - any suggestions? MS ignored desktop users with 8. Hello I have been trying to follow your instructions for moving Outlook Express files to Outlook. I found the source.
I successfully installed MS Live Mail and successfully imported the. I then exported the live mail files into Outlook. But when I opened Outlook they are not there, and I cannot find out where they have gone.
Thanks for any advice. Some of the users have stuck with their old OE6 email programs. PST files. After I imported the. Can you tell me what I did wrong? Incidentally, in my home view left pane , I have Favorites, Outlook Data Files, and another account denoted by the email address of that user.
Outlook Data Files and her email account both have all typical email folders inbox, sent, trash, drafts, etc. Perhaps that is normal for Outlook , but I'm hoping maybe that might help you diagnose my error.
I think I somehow corrupted the data file when I imported the. Is the account set up as pop3 or imap? That usually means a corrupt profile. Unfortunately, the fix is to make a new profile, but if the accounts are pop3, go to File, Account Settings, select the pop3 account then click Change Folder at the bottom.
Select a folder then repeat and select the inbox. Now for my emails I've been using Outlook Express 6 and want to move its contents, including folders I have created, over to Outlook Nicholas I have installed on the iMac, how do I do this? Sorry, I just found this. You can't export from OE to Outlook mac - you need to use a 3rd party convert utility. Gmail works great for this. Schedule Management. Calendar Printing Tools.
Calendar Reminder Tools. Time and Billing Tools. Meeting Productivity Tools. Duplicate Remover Tools. Sending and Retrieval Tools. Mass Mail Tools. Compose Tools. Mail Tools for Outlook. Online Services. Productivity Tools. Automatic Message Processing Tools. Special Function Automatic Processing Tools. Housekeeping and Message Management.
Project and Business Management Tools. That is most likely an important feature to many e-mail users, as its my contact info for the govt, financial firms, banks, and so forth, not just personal contacts which are easy to update. Again, thanks. My PC died but it was backed up on Norton Ghost. My new laptop has Windows 7 and Live Mail. I restored the back up and found my. I assembled them all, including Folders. I imported this folder into Live Mail.
It shows as Imported Folder, but it is empty. Any ideas as to where I have gone wrong please? Further to my post today about an empty Imported Folder I now find it contains subfolders for deleted items, drafts, inbox, outbox and sent items. These are all empty bar the inbox which has a single welcome message from the Outlook Express team dating from My many other subfolders are simply missing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I read and profited from your article but I have a slightly different challenge with Windows 7. I have a client who will only contact me via Outlook or Outlook Express. Since Windows 7 blew them away — is there any way I can install Express along side Windows 7 or???.
I need to contact and work with this client. Thanks Gerald. Thanks Leo, for the awesome step-by-step instructions for moving our outlook express from our XP machine to our new Windows 7 machine for Windows Live Mail. This is actually for my husband who will be thrilled he did not lose his emails with the switch.
I am using Windows Mail on my laptop with Vista. Now we will have to learn the new bells and whistles with WLM, but within the short time I used it, it seems to be no real big deal. Thanks again. I recommend this article to anyone who is not a computer expert. You made it all so very clear. I have several email addresses in Outlook Express OE.
Your instructions were perfect and work great for my default email identity in OE. How can I retrieve the emails and assoicated files with each email address identity? This is what I have done so far without success.
I confirmed each identity with its corresponding identity number, saw the file folders related to each email, etc. I am receiving emails on the different identities I set up in Live Mail, but I really need the other emails and the folers assoicated with them installed on the new machine. Can you help. I had Outlook Express with a sympatico acount i do not have a password! My contacts have been tranfered into live as have emails that were in my inbox before the change, but I cannot recieve new emails and cannot send emails.
Is there any way you can help me? All very clear,useful and helpful, switch was pretty painless and worked fine, thank you. I gathered this after unnecessarily trying to copy 5. I have my Outlook Express Account but cannot access it because of my password.
I just want to ask for a new password. How do I do that. Trying to switch from Yahoo. And can I use it to get Outlook Express back? Can you please answer your own comment… if you run win7 in XP mode, then is there a way to install and run OE???
I disconected my old computer xp and set up my new one windows7. However Can I get my old address book from my outlook account?. I have called Microsoft 5 times and my calls are getting droped or sent to limbo. Also is it possible to keep my old e-mail address?. Finally someone who knows what he is talking about. I did everything already, but did not know how to import into MLE. There are others out there jumping thru hoops on the same issue, I think. MS site info is OK, but harder to navigate than yours for procedures like this.
Very helpful article, thanks. I have But, one area not dealt with is the use of mail rules — I have 20 of them for separating my incoming email. Is my only choice to reconstruct them in Windows Live Mail assuming that function exists there? Not good enough! It does not say how Windows Live Mail can correctly import Outlook express email messages from a saved folder on the same hard drive or an USB external flash drive!!!
One point not made in the article or at least to me, incorrectly made was that it is indeed possible to save your mail accounts without needing to write down all the information before hand. I did not find this article until a few weeks after I installed Windows 7, or rather it was forced upon me when I bought a new laptop.
You can then use the same method in Windows Live Mail to import them back in, thus saving you a lot of time and effort, and no need to call the ISP for your settings. As I use Imap in OE and about 5 or 6 different accounts, I was glad to have discovered this little export function many years ago. I was of course extremely glad that in Windows 7, Windows Live mail was able to read these files, and my accounts, being Imap, came up with all my messages stored server-side, no fuss whatsoever.
I only read a few of the comments not all, and so it is naturally possible this was already covered, but the article not updated to reflect this.
Could not have made the move without your help! Glad this transition is over…. Thank you very much. Just what I needed. I was so successful in this because I saved everything from my old XP Windows computer to an external drive before I plugged in my new Windows 7 computer. I had it all on my external drive ready to be imported. Method 3: Transfer Emails from Windows Live Mail to Outlook on Windows 10 This is the main step of all these procedures, and you have to proceed with this in the same manner as you did in the earlier stages of the migration from Outlook Express to Outlook.
Start and run Windows Live Mail application. A new dialogue box will appear. Select the Exchange tab. Please select all the folders which you want to export from Windows Live Mail to Microsoft Outlook on the Windows 10 operating system. Finally, close the export window pane. Go to the location where you have saved the resultant files and then click on OK.
Some of them are listed here: Time-consuming and very lengthy approach. The minute errors will lead to major data loss. Technical expertise is required to successfully transfer emails from Outlook Express. Select the desired option from 2 default options to browse DBX files from local storage.
