Import Email Accounts - OE to WM

[Guest]

Where do I locate my OE email account files to import into WM?

I am importing from a master drive in a USB enclosure. Motherboard quit
working in the old XP computer so all I have is the old master hard
drive/enclosure and a new Vista computer.

I am going to WM - Tools >accounts >import. It’s asking for .jaf files. I
I ran a search on the entire old hard drive and found no such files. Also
looked in Programs\OE. Also looked in \Local Settings\Application
Data\Identities\.

Was able to import messages (thanks oehelp.com) and contacts from reading
this forum. But I have no clue as to the location/file name of my OE email
accounts so I can import them into WM.

Thanks in advance for any help - you guys are great!

I also got a new PC with Vista and WM and was able to import everything into
it....treat WM as OE and it should work for you.

Thanks for your response Bill. I ended up manually entering all my email
accounts again so I'm good to go now. My big problem was I was not importing
from another PC. I was importing from a hard drive only via a USB connection.
So I had to do everything a little bit differently because the PC was not
there to take my import queries to the right directories. What a pain it was.
