Can’t properly Import messages from WLM/WM to Outlook 2010
I have installed windows 7 ultimate (32 bit) edition in my system, also I installed MS Office 2010 Professional Plus. I used Outlook Express as my email client for last 10 years, and hence I have huge mail storage to import to Windows7. I’ve decided to use Outlook as my email client now on. I have successfully imported all my OE messages to Windows Live Mail in my Windows7 system, and now I want to import them to Outlook2010. But when I try to import them from Outlook – it can’t see any messages to import. And when I export it from WLM, most of the (but NOT all) messages exported to Outlook, but when I open the exported messages from Outlook I see the ‘Internet headers’ are blank for all the messages. Also, Outlook can successfully import only one mail, which is "Welcome to Windows Mail" - placed by default in the C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Local Folders\Inbox folder. If I put some .eml files in that folder (from WLM) that mails are also got successfully imported (with all the headers) by Outlook. But I accidentally deleted the "Welcome to Windows Mail" - message from that folder, and after that any .eml file I copy to that folder - can't be seen by Outlook. Is there any trick to make Outlook see the mails from C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Local Folders\Inbox folder again? Can anything be done with the Winmail.fol file - that sits in that folder by default? I am digging my head for last 1 week to resolve this issue but found no fix, can anyone help me please! Thanks in advance. ~Sanjoy
