Used Windows Easy Transfer to export the content from a Vista system running Win Mail Target is a new Win 7 system running Live Mail.
Successfully did the export to a flash drive. At least I'm assuming that I did because Easy Transfer told me it was successful.
Moved the flash drive to the new system. Double clicked the Easy Transfer file on the flash drive and it launched the import. Again, I got a progress bar and a confirmation that the import succeeded.
When I went to look for the transferred folders in Live Mail, they weren't there The data folders transferred OK but not the mail store On a hunch, I used Live Mail's email import tool. I responded to the Question box looking for the input format with the
fact that the input would be in Win Mail Format. It found the Easy Transfer file on the flash drive as it found that it contained email. I assumed that it would put it in Live Mail's mail store. So the fact that it didn't ask me where I wanted to put
it didn't seem odd.
The mail import took off and showed me a series of message boxes with progress bars--one for each folder that was on the old system. It finished without error and I went into Live Mail to admire Easy Transfer's handywork. Needless to say, it wasn't anywhere
to be found.
Anybody have any ideas as to where Live Mail's import tool might have put the mail? It told me that the import succeeded but no clue as to where the imported mail folders went. Even an idea as to what file extension Live Mail uses for the folders would
help as that might let me find them with search.
Thanx in advance.

I'm trying to transfer some emails to folders and then onto a flash drive. I understand that Hotmail won't allow me to save the emails to a flash drive...or anywhere else for that matter. I was told I could use Thunderbird or Windows Live Mail and incorporate
them into folders that way. My question is this: I use Hotmail and Windows Mail. Is Windows Live Mail different than either of these?
