Hi!
Thank you so much. But I wanted to recover the mail message as well, not
only the addresses, and that way I think I could recover only them.
I use multiple accounts even for my family, so I'd love to recover all the
accounts settings, the mail messages and the addesses as well, so I've just
copied the identitites folder and I'm trying that way now! Wish me luck. This
is the third time I try different ways to migrate my settings! I begin to
hate Vista... :-P
Anyway the easy transfer method suggested by microsoft (and called migwiz)
is exporting an .IMG (unc was the suffix of the folder containing the file)
file, but the easy transfer process on Vista asks for .MIG file.
Why? Would it suffice to rename the suffix? I'm very confused.
Bye :-)
