Re: Import Outlook Express into Windows Mail

Go to http://oehelp.com/backup.aspx and scroll down to
"Importing from Outlook Express". Note especially the part in red.

Import Outlook Express into Windows Mail

I've upgraded to Vista and windows mail but cant seem to import the old
message from XP. I see the files in explorer but when I try the import
messages via windows mail, the directory where the emails are don't show up?
Any suggestions?

Re: Import Outlook Express into Windows Mail

If the OP corrects the date will he then be able to import the messages?

Yes if they follow the advice already given in an earlier reply.

Why do you ask?

Re: Import Outlook Express into Windows Mail

If they follow the advice already given in an earlier reply **without
correcting the date** will he then be able to import the messages?

I asked because I don't see how the date relates to the problem.

Re: Import Outlook Express into Windows Mail

The two issues are mostly unrelated, although having the wrong
time zone or date can cause strange problems.
I think it behooves us as responders to notify the OP of any
obvious problem, even if unrelated to the OP's question.
