Greetings!
I just signed up for a new live.com email account. Then I setup the Outlook Express so that I can read my emails without logging into the Live.com website. While setting up Outlook, I made sure to fill correct email ID and password. However, the test email
failed. And now I can only receive emails but can't send emails. I did receive the Hotmail welcome email which stated I need to verify my account by logging into my Live.com account. So I did that. But still, I cannot send emails through Outlook. I simply
fail to understand this COOL Live.com feature. If you don't wish to allow people to use Outlook, simply write that down in bold letters so that people don't waste their time creating a Live.com email account.
Is there a simple fix to this problem? And I'm sure, I'm not the only one experiencing this problem. My sister created a Live.com email ID a week ago. She also tried to use Outlook and had the exact same problem. Can't send emails using outlook. So what do
I have to do in order to verify myself that I'm not some spammer or hacker, I'm just a simple person trying to make my life easier by using Outlook.
Please, make things easier, not complicated. If there a solution to this, can you reply and help me? Appreciate your help a lot.
Thanks.
just loaded Windows 7 into new computer. How do I add email? instructions say Outlook Express won't run in Vista - but my old computer has Visata, and OE runs under Windows Mail program. So now what do I do?
Outlook Express won't export its data or emails due to a "MAPI error."
I'm trying to move my wife's email from outlook express on XP to outlook on Win8Pro and when I try to export the data from OE it says can't export due to MAPI error. No further explanation is offered. Her BTX files are where they are supposed to be and I moved those, but there is nothing newer in there than 2006. Apparently there has been a MAPI error for quite a long time. Is there any other way I can get her email messages off of there and onto the new computer's Outlook? It seems like it's going to have to start with exporting them out in some other manner and remember the data files haven't been updated for 7 years. They're just sitting there getting old, but I don't want those old files anyway.

I get error 603 when trying to transfer outlook express account on my laptop running xp to outlook.com
Hello,
I am having a problem importing my Outlook Express Windows Address Book (WAB) from my old PC (running Windows XP) to my new computer that is using Windows Live Mail (and running Windows 7).
On my old PC, I had organized my WAB (which contains over 5,000 contacts) into various folders/categories. I also had most of the email accounts set up to include First and Last names, as well as email addresses. I exported my WAB from the old XP computer and imported the WAB into Windows Mail Live on the OS7 computer by using the "in mail" features on both systems. Now, here is the problem:
While the new PC/Windows Mail Live indicated that the WAB transferred successfully, it did not import in exactly the same way that it exists on the old PC with XP using Outlook Express. Some of the contacts appear to be missing all together, others are not showing in the folders/categories to which they belong, and many seem to have lost their First and Last names, instead showing the email address both under the email category and under the user name category.
Does anyone know why this is happening, or how I can correct it? Am I doing something wrong? Is there a better way to transfer the WAB? Unfortunately, my knowledge is limited when it comes to this kind of thing, but generally I can resolve most issues I run into through trial and error. This, however, has been one area that I've found no success in fixing. Any help or direction that anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
PhillyRich

I have been using Windows 7 for more than 2 years with Windows Live Mail for my e-mail program, having previously had XP with Outlook Express mail.
When for back-up I export my Windows Live Mail to an External Flash Drive (via a file created for this in My Docs), soon after downloading begins I get the message "this file has properties which cannot be exported. Do you want to Export anyway?" with the options "Skip" and "Skip all". I always have continued by saying 'yes' and choosing the "Skip all" option, optimistically presuming the 'properties' referred to are not important.
However, from a question on this Forum which I recently saw and the questioner's responses to the replies he got (I couldn't find the actual answer) I gathered that if "Skip" is selected, the messages will not be saved in a form which would repopulate the program in a readable format. i.e., I am not in fact backing up my Windows Live messages at all.
Can you tell me what is meant by "messages have properties that cannot be exported" and whether it is a fact that I can't back up messages in a re-importable form without installing a dedicated program for the purpose – free for a trial period only. This would seem to me incredible, when my old computer with Windows XP was able to save and reimport messages into its "Outlook Express" Mail programme.

I backed up Outlook Express 6 to an external hard drive from my XP SP3 computer. Upgraded it to Windows 7 and installed Windows Live Mail. I've followed all the instructions to import storage folders from OE6 to Windows live mail. It appears to proceed
and the imported folder is visible in the WLM storage folder. There are now 2 of these but both report no items to view. (The backup folder on the external HDD has 19.5 MB saved folder plus the "FOLDERS.DBX") What is going wrong?
