Not yet. But you can select all messages in a particular local folder and
copy/paste them into a Folder you create with a similar name, i.e., Inbox,
Sent Items, etc. Then either copy them to another partition or a USB memory
stick or SD card and do the reverse in Outlook Express. It's a PITA but I
suspect there will not be a revert to OE6 procedure set up in the future.

Should have said "drag and drop" them into the Explorer folders you create
so that they retain the EML file extension.

Its not a PITA. Just drag the eml files from WinMail into an OE6 folder.

Haven't tried that yet in Vista. How is the OEToolV version coming?
Earlier one you sent does not seem to work in this build.

Ooops, meant for mail not posting. Sorry.

I'm busy with my new business. I haven't worked on either much yet.
I meant OEX for going from Vista back to OE. That will work now. OEX has
issues right now running in Vista, but the other way should work -- to
import from the eml file directories.

OK, thanks for the update. Knew it worked for XP but thought from your
note, you had something going on with Vista. Hope the photos are
selling well. They sure looked nice.
Best.

There was an issue with a previous build that prevented some of the
functions from working, so I'm waiting for the dust to settle a little bit
before jumping into the WinMail programming.
I'm just starting this upcoming Sunday for the Market and I'll see what
happens then.
Meanwhile, looks like I'm going to have to move very soon also, so its been
rather busy.

So I go into where the .eml files are stored in Vista and copy them to a
storage file. Then I transfer them to the WinXP machine and drag and drop
them into a OE File? Is that a file in the open pane of OE or in the source
directory in the identities folder of OE?
