Importing WLM settings

I installed Win 7 and am dual booting with Vista. I take it I can import my
WLM Folders and settings right from Vista on another drive.

This has nothing to do with WLM.I tried to import Favorites from Vista into
7.I browsed to the file and clicked got .Error not htm. file. In Vista it is
just Favorites.

Thanks in Advance. I will post the 2nd question in the right group.

Export you messages in Vista
- File/Export/Messages/<follow the instructions and choose email accounts>
- Export to a jump drive or external drive

Reverse the process in WLM on Win7
- ensure your accounts are created prior to import
- File/Import/Messages/<browse to the folder or jump drive>/follow the instructions

Hi Winston,

Thank You Very Much for the advise. I have the email accounts created. Do I
need to create all the folders I have in my pop 3 accounts??

Thanks Again

Doug

When messages are imported into WLM they will reside in the Storage folders/Imported Folders/<subfolders>
- they can remain in that location as an archive storage or copied to user created folders in each email account.
If the latter, create the folders in the email account, then drag messages(not folders) from the Storage folders/..../to the
desired location.
