Importing my mail after a format
 

Hello BetaOne,

I just format my HD and start a new install.:mellow:

I need to restore my mails, settings and folder. I try to copy them in my folder but in Outlook Express, I can't see them :eek:

Help me please

Thanks

Hey,

This should do it. :)

Take Care,
Will

PS: Never had the need to use it yet so dont know but it does have a recover option so it should.

Normally,

I use folder match and synchronise my 2 folders xxxxxxapplication data xxxxxxx local settings etc..........But I can't see them in my inbox :(

All my messages are here :

G:\Windows 18 janvier\Me\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{EEE2367C-413F-40BC-A73A-2F67B39CD788}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

I copy them to here :

C:\Documents and Settings\Me\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{C689F5D1-B2C7-434E-849C-7A2CF41642E1}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

But I don't see them in outlook :eek:

Not sure about "express" but with "outlook" you're supposed to export/save them as .pst files. After the format you then import the .pst's. Have you tried to "import" the files on your G drive?

I think the .pst file is only for Outlook, not for Outlook express :(

You still might try to "import" the files instead of copying them? I don't use either one so I'm not sure how to do it.

Good luck!

You can either import them using the OE import feature of you can tell OE to change the default folder to a different drive. I keep all my emails and documents on a seperate drive, when i reinstall i use the maintainance feature of OE to use the other drive as a mail store folder.

Thanks DoG,

I change my folder to the location where all my messages are but I don't see them in OE :(

@Bads - you changed the location of the Store Flder (Tools/Options/Maintence)
but did you import the messages ( Files/Import/Messages/OE6/Then import from OE6 store Directory?
