Trouble Importing Windows Mail Messages?


Hi all,

Was having trouble with this and stumbled onto the solution.
Hope others may find this useful.

SCENARIO:
Migrating from user account bby509 to new account Dave PC
Moved all data, contacts, favorites, etc. without any problems
Exported and Imported mail accounts without issues

Then tried to import messages and faced errors.
Turns out Windows Mail has a problem picking up directory path
correctly and duplicates last folder in the path.
Click in the directory address bar of the Select Folder window resolved
the issue

See attached doc for details.
- Hope this can help others

Regards, Dave
