So have your backed-up message store and contact files on the computer before you start WLM. WLM is a very problematic product for Microsoft and many others.
In fact, Gmail has recently caused a problem by tagging WLM as a less than secure one. You need to lower the security level on your Gmail account to get it to export to WLM. The reason WLM is not desirable to them is that it takes away the opportunity to profile you and throw ads in your face on the web mail product. A strength to the average user and a weakness to those trying to make money by pushing those ads in your face.
When you have WLM in place and you have it working the way you want it to. I suggest you change the frequency of checking for new mail from 20 minutes to 2. Also, I recommend moving the message store from the default location, about 7 levels down up to a higher level so you can easily find it to do backups.
WLM includes a Move tool to do this. Once installed in your computer, you may need assistance in setting up the account structure to interface with your email provider s. Perhaps I should have said you need an email service rather than a program. But rather than going to their website to read the mail, I have it downloaded to my email client, Thunderbird.
If you want to try Thunderbird, you can have that installed and working right alongside of Windows Live Mail. Just have both set to leave copies of the messages on the server for a few days so you can fetch them from both clients.
If you prefer Windows Live Mail, fine. If you like Thunderbird, then use that. Windows Live Mail was broken when it was released and never fixed. According to Microsoft you can Import directly from Outlook Express and Windows Mail folders stored on your hard disk. Subscribe to Confident Computing!

Your email can be read anyway. It comes through some server, somewhere. It has nothing to do with being a socialist or not. Yes I can do this for all clients who have websites on my server. Your email comes through a server, somewhere. Likely through several. Anyone who has access to the server where your email is routed or stored can read your email.
Why lie about the effectiveness of Microsoft products when you can see all around you people hurting because Microsoft ruins the workable and regular? I have read somewhere on the net where you can get windwos mail to work with windows 7. I wish I had the information now as I will be getting my new computer today. I have vista on this laptop and like windows mail. I hope Microsoft will eventually let us download windows mail.
We are not weirdos or cranks. We just feel that this important feature should not have been discontinued. I can use it with a Linux machine, or if I win the lottery, a Macintosh. It works, but what a pain! And possibly insecure too.
Perfectly workable programs are being wiped off the books at an alarming rate replaced by badly coded useless and troublesome programs like there is no tomorrow. When is the international community going to give Microsoft a serve about their unwillingness to listen to the pleas of so many users with endless problems. It is getting out of hand and needs to be deal with by someone with balls. I have just spent more than three days trying o make a damn email client work on windows 7 64bit computer running like a rocket.
What the hell is wrong with software developers these days? I Installed windows 7 on my notebook, I have 3 other computers which I will not update to win 7 as the outlook express is not available. Just one more reason that Windows will continue to be bloatware. They will always have to support obsolete technologies and methods.
If I get one more e-mail with the. I have been using Windows 7 beta for many months. It is rock solid and it closes a lot of security gaps. You are probably a bot for half a dozen spammers out there. Just pay the computer tech and quit griping about how expensive it is to have your computer deloused. This is one move that will backfire on Microsoft and will be the start of a significant slide in old users trust.
OE has become a trusted institution for its simplicity of use and standardized user interface and there are blessed few of those sort of things in the digital world. This is a huge mistake for Microsoft and a terrible wrench thrown into a new OS by its absence. I dare say this will be a greater. I love windows mail and outlook exspress. I is no fair that microsoet is taking them out in wwindows7. Outlook Express is my way of emailing and since it is not included in 7 I have returned to Vista.
Since 7 was a free update I have trashed it and returned to Vista. Even on a wiped system it is slower than crystallized honey. My father is miserable without his OE email. I daresay impossible.
Reading his emails is no longer enjoyable. Mozzilla is horrible for too many reasons. Is Thunderbird the same thing? Is that a scam or possiblely legit? Any other ideas? I have a customer who uses Incredimail — which seems to look a lot like Outlook Express.
Maybe your father would like that? I remember Incredimail. I used to get emails from people using it, identifiable by its graphically adorned emails and animated gifs. I used it for a while to create holiday and birthday emails. It worked very well and extremely simple to use. Maybe someone who uses it could post a comment on that. Update: I just downloaded it and tried it.
It seems easy to use. The free version puts an advertisement gif link at the bottom, not a major problem for email with friends but probably a deal breaker for professional emails.
So you might want to try it out and buy it if you want to get rid of the ad link. It can run together with any other email program as long as you use IMAP or set it to leave mail on server. I have always used Outlook Express and love it.
I hate change, too. Outlook is far too busy, with a million things I will never use. I would do that for your father. This is going to push more people away from Microsoft. Well Microsoft, if you are listening, bring OE back and make it free. I was going to upgrade 3 computers but this move has lost them money. I refuse to buy the software for the other 2 systems. And this is a web based service. Would anyone be content with a Post Office where you go to read your mail but must leave them there?
Once Yahoo killed my ID and all my e-mails for some reason I could never find out. I could never even talk to a live person. Just one day — blink! If you review the TOS for Windows Live Mail, it likely says they can delete your account, at their discretion, at any time, for any reason without notice or explanation. I feel like packing the whole lot up and dumping it at Harvey Norman,.
What exactly is the difference between OE and Outlook? Please forgive my ignorance level of technology. Not only is there Outlook Express or was and Outlook — but there is also outlook. There are a number of different versions of Windows 7. What is cut out from this OEM version? Does it allow for a clean install? The only difference is each email address, if you have more than one, has now a separate entry.
Making it easier to control each email address. If you put your old hard disc into your new computer, you can import your address book into Live Mail from it just as Outlook used to. Where did Microsoft hide my E-mail files? I can not find them in Windows 7 so I can copy it to Microsoft Ooutlook Please Help. We really want to be able to use Outlook Express on Window 7. It may not be Outlook Express ,but it works much the same.
I tried downloading the Virtual PC program as suggested above, but it will not download for Home Edition. Win 7 Live Mail does not look like OE as mentioned above, and does not have the options listed in the conversion instructions in the Outlook 7 Help.
Do you have any ideas for converting the data from the older OE to Outlook 7? Had no trouble to import the whole address book from Outlook Express, but using Windows Mail? NO if I can help it: am now looking for a way to get Outlook Express working on Vista, anybody doing this? Too many hoops to jump through.
