importing Windows Mail.

[Charles Shapiro]

I had to redo my Vista and now I can not get my Windows Mail imported back
into Windows Mail. I remember having the same problem importing OE6 mail
into Windows Mail the 1st time. It always duplicates the path in the browse
window and then says it can't find the messages. I do not remember what I
did to overcome this. I tried copying the folder (with Windows Mail files)
to the desktop, but again it duplicated the path.

What does one do to get to the correct path to complete this task?

Thanks in advance!

In the path to the old OE6 files, use your mouse to read that path line
carefully. You will see WinMail adds and extra folder to the path making it
incorrect
