Help transfering all my settings

Hello,

I have Windows Live Mail installed in a computer with Windows Vista. I'm
trying to move all my settings and messages in Windows Live Mail to another
computer with Windows XP.

It's really important to me to keep marked messages, read and unread, mail
rules, etc., since I keep important business track that way.

I'm not being able to do the transfer by moving the entire storage folder
and replicating keys in the registry. I used to do that to move my entire
Windows Live Mail messages and settings from computers with XP to computers
with XP (generally, I used to do that whenever I formated my computer, to
keep everything the same way it was), but now from Vista to XP something is
not working.

Please tell me what can I do. As I said, I need to keep all kind of message
marks (read, un read, inspectioned, flaged, answered, forarded, etc) as well
as message rules.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Paco Zarabozo

Hi Zaraboza,

Let me know if you don't get any traction on this over at the Live Mail group. I've moved my
Live Mail store from one machine to another several times with success using the method you
detail below. Although I've never moved down-level to XP, but with the exception of placing
the mail store where XP would expect it, I don't really see why it should be much different.
