Re: migrate emails fr. Outlook 2007 (xp pro) to Windows Mail (Vista)

LOL--Rubbish yourself Gordon. I always crave respect from individuals like you. I appreciate the thousands of times you've poswted on this group since it started to help the people who can't boot Vista on their box. Your service and quality is amazing. I'd like to know which aspect of what I have said specifically that you object to that

a) you think I can't get done
b) you are willing to sign a document betting significant money that I can't get done

Let me know how sure you are I'm making my statements up and specifically which part of what I've stated you think can't be done. LOL to the 64th

Instead of childishly screaming rubish, why don't you be specific about what you think I haven't done importing the same mail from either client across partitions on the same box in a dual or triple boot.

***BTW Gordon, you don't know whether the OP had those OS's on the same box or not. He has not stated whether he does or does not.***

I have also noticed that with Win Mail, on a dual boot unlike with OE (probably because there are in fact different mail formats in Win Mail and OE that mail on one partition to Win Mail will show up simultaneously on the other parition(s) in Win Mail without doing any importing at all. This specifically refers to a dual or multiboot system on a box where you have dual booted Vista on separate partitions or Windows 7 and Vista on separate partitions.

I always set it to keep a copy on the server, because if you don't, you can often lose mail in both those clients and I like to make sure the mail shows up as close to simultaneously as possible. And I don't post methods of getting things done, Gordon that I haven't made happen myself.

I posted the link because there are screen shots, but when you keep a copy on the server (I use 5 or 10 days as that setting) your email to either Outlook or OE on XP, Outlook or Win Mail on Vista, or Outlook or Windows Live Mail on Windows 7 is going to show up in both clients on the respective operating systems. And when that happens, intuitively, if you know the
file path where the mail is stored, you can inport from either accross partitions if you have to to either of the clients.

If I thought you were worth the time, I could do it on my Win 7/Vista SP2 dual boot and provide screen shots, but sceen shots aren't real welcome here unless you do them via links (because the global bandwidth issues are always raised).

It makes me smile to think someone like you accuses me of lying on these newsgroups about importing email; the fact that I keep the messages on the server for 10 days (I'm not sure how that impacts this because I've done it when I've set messages on the server for only a few days and it makes no difference, about the fact that all of my emails show up in both the free MSFT email clients and Outlook and this has been the case with Outlook 2002 in XP, Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007, and the coming version of Outlook in which MSFT tells me they will be positioning, proferring, and advertising Office as a portal to a number of servers for enterprises to realize the functionality of Sharepoint, Unified Communications Server, and Hyper-V Visor to stress instant communication all the time--at least that was the message in the meeting I was at last week.

Ken--

The OP asked:

"Is there a way to migrate my mails and contacts from Outlook 2007 (Running
under Windows XP Professional) to Windows Mail (running under Windows Vista
Home)"

If he has OL 2007 and either Win Mail (Vista's freebie) or OE (actually develped for years in conjunction with many of hte components of IE by MSFT under the hood in several OS's) the free mail client in XP and OS's prior to it, then whatever mail shows up in OL 2007 is going to show up in Win Mail or OE respectively via his ISP's server.



Rubbish, UNLESS the OP sets the mail client to keep a copy on the server. If the Op does not, and that's the default setting of any mail client then the emails will NOT "be on the server".
