I am doing a new clean install of Win 7 on a new disk. My old disk was Win 7 too. Same software is being installed on a new disk.
I am trying to import messages from old Windows Live Mail install on the old disk to new Windows Live Mail install.
I had done importing from Outlook Express to Live Mail with no problems in the past.
I try to import from Live Mail to Live mail by selecting “Import Messages/Windows Live Mail”, then browse and select the old Live Mail data directory. I see it imports all messages, takes some time to finish the importing job. Then I see that it has imported the accounts (minus psswords) O.K. but no messages. I look at the Storage folders/Recovered items. But they are not there either.
When I look at the storage directory using windows explorer I see the old dbx files there but they are not displayed in Windows Live.
I’m utterly baffled. This simple task shouldn’t be so difficult!
Please Help!
