Folders didn't move over

[Daiana]

I used to check my Sympatico mail by logging in through MSN. Now that I've
installed Windows Mail, it imported al of the emails that were in the Inbox,
but it didn't import any of my folders. Is there a way for me to get my
folders to move over as well?

Thanks!

Only if Sympatico offer IMAP, as well as POP.

There is a way, but it requires some work.
Keep in mind that the POP protocol means that Windows Mail can
only download messages that reside in the webmail Inbox folder.

1. In Windows Mail move all messages out of the Inbox folder.
2. Go to webmail, and move the contents of a special folder into
the Inbox folder.
3. Download in Windows Mail, then move those message to a
new custom folder.

Repeat the above for as many folders you have in webmail.
