Outlook wont import outlook xp email

Hi
I was a bit hasty in my last response. On selecting the Alt key
The "File" menu appeared.
I selected Import Messages/windows live mail/
I selected the folder "Outlook-Express-MailIn-Folder

In that folder were sub Folders where I kept the emails in relation to
the topic ( Example all my paypal invoices I kept in the paypal folder.)

The import went OK BUT when I went into windows Live Mail The main index folder was there (Outlook-Express-MailIn-Folder) and All the sub folders
but NO EMAILS were in them ??????????

what did I do wrong ?

I'm not familiar with importing Outlook Express.
Sorry, wish I could help.
Maybe Ian or one of the other guys will have an answer for you.

It sounds like you imported the files correctly, so I'm not sure why this would happen. Have you clicked on all of the folder/account's on the side menu?

Can you take another screenshot and I'll see if there is anything else that stands out?

This is why users prefer Thunderbird for email. There are litterally dozens of techniques and addons to import from previously installed/backed up/corrupted/crashed copies of outlook or TB.

Use your head, not your time. Thunderbird.

OK All is fixed
I got my emails from outlook express 32bit into Outlook64bit.
I thought this might help others with the same problem.
I took my computer to a techie Friend who sorted it.

I will probably mess up my explanation of what he did but I'll do my best In the hope someone will understand.
The first thing I did wrong was to place my emails IN into a seperate folder on another hard drive.

When I used windows Live mail (wlmail) to import the emails
it only imported the main index and sub folders as I explaind in an earler post. There were no emails in the folders.

(here we go with the techie stuff) apparently wlmail could not find the emails because it was looking for them WHERE THE SHOULD HAVE BEEN in the propper default folder that outlook express sets up when installed.

My friend located the path to where the inbox and out box were (deep in the user/microsoft settings. He copy and pasted them in to the correct folder where they should have been and copied all my emails to in inbox.
Then he did an import again from wlmail and and presto all my emails were imported into wlmail.
Then he did an export from wlmail to outlook and all my emails are now in Outlook 64bit
The moral of that story is NEVER put your emails in a folder on another drive. Hope that makes sence.

I understood everything you said.

wlmail has the option to change the default mail location also.
