I have exported my e-mails folders from Windows Live Mail (in Microsoft Essentials 2012) to Outlook 2010 on my laptop (this was the final stage of a transfer of these folders from Outlook Express on my old PC).
The export of the folders was successful except for one thing. The display in the 'From' column in Outlook 2010 shows the recipient's chosen display name only. For example it shows 'Fred Smith' rather than 'Fred Smith<*** Email address is removed for privacy ***>'. This means that if I try to reply to one of these mails in Outlook 2010 it will not work as 'Fred Smith' is not a valid e-mail address. The display names and e-mail addresses are both shownd in Windows Live Mail when you open an e-mail there, although the email address is greyed out. The email addresses in Windows Live Mail currently are not stored as Contacts, so I have not exported Contacts from there to Outlook 2010.
Any thoughts as to how I solve this? There are a large number of e-mails so I don't really want to have to go and set up Contact details for each e-mail in Windows Live Mail and then transfer them. Thanks.
