    Search function down but I doubt this has been handled already .

    ok , so I use outlook express , yeah I know I shouldn't ( quiet down there at the back ) . I have moved over to Windows 7 and there is no OE , it seems it's Windows Live Mail instead , downloading at the moment in the backround while I run here arms flailing . Soooooooooooo , all my mails are in .dbx format on my portable drive , anyone know if I can get them over to WLM ?


    Help !

    In Windows Mail, go to File -> Import -> Messages -> Microsoft Outlook Express 6 -> select Import Mail from an OE6 Store Directory -> then you should get a Browse button.

    Actually asked about Vista but should be the same in Win7

    Also to add, if there's any issues with the import check that the dbx files aren't 'read only'
