I am transferring from Vista Mail to Win7. Easy Transfer worked perfectly for everything but Live Mail. Only "Sent" and "Deleted" were transferred in full from 1G of mail. I tried copying the WinMail folders to the new machine in the Users area. Copied fine and when I opened any of the folders and clicked a random email, Windows Live opened and properly read the message.
When I tried to drag the messages to a folder in Windows Live Storage, the status window opened and indicated the files were transferred. Yet when I went to the storage folder, nothing. I also tried to import but got the error message that there were either no messages or the file was in use (it wasn't).
It's confusing because WinLive will read the messages now parked in the "Users" folders but it won't recognize them when either dragged or imported into the WinLive program.
What am I doing wrong?
