ms mail

[Guest]

help. i purchased a new computer with vista. i hired someone to transfer all
the data from old computer to new one. most things work except ms mail. i
cannot send or receive anything.
in old computer i was using outlook which is not on my new system. tech guy
said he had to convert all outlook files to outlook express and then move
them to new computer. after doing this, ms mail will not send or rec.
i have checked with my internet provider to make sure all of my email
settings ate correct.
any ideas?

Did he export the OE accounts to IAF files? WinMail can import those.
Otherwise you will have to manually enter your account(s).
