I love you Mailstore! I had a customer who just went from a 6 yr old Windows XP laptop to a brand new Windows 7 laptop. She has been using Outlook Express for the last 6 years, she never ever deletes anything apparently. There were 4,000 items in her email account. So trying to figure out how to transfer to Win7, especially since I am forced to go from OE to Win Live Mail for Win7. I found this lovely lovely program called Mailstore Home, I was able to archive her OE files, then export them from the computer and re-import them to Win Mail Live as Win Mail live folders, with subfolders intact. Granted each step took 20 minutes, but much easier than trying to convert files, or do the import/export thing that Microsoft has in the email programs. After that was done the rest of the transfer of files was a piece of cake.

Quick and easy. -Gromit I got the idea that they didn't want to go to Windows Live Mail. A friend of mine didn't, he claimed that there was too much logging in. I don't use it, so I don't know. -figglywig I didn't see much logging in to use Windows Live Mail, I set her up for her Insight email acct and that was pretty much it. She likes Windows Live Mail after I showed her today, but thinks there are too many things she won't use at all on there. -redfaery That friend was bitching that there was too much in the way of tools all over Live Mail, and it was confusing and distracting to him. -figglywig
