Re: .eml.%%%OECustomProperty and windows mail .

Hi Antoine,

You can send to scochran @ oehelp.com . Just remove the spaces. It would
be interesting to see. Also I noticed that the path is not the standard
path for Winmail as they interposed a directory (User0), which was not there
before.

If things are not working well, then you can rename the Windows Mail
directory (C:\Users\Antoine
Granatino\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail to C:\Users\Antoine
Granatino\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail Old --with WinMail closed)
and when WinMail opens again it will re-establish the directory clean, and
then you can add your accounts and start fresh. Any intact messages will
still be in the renamed directory.

Steve I did what you advised . So Finally I got to get to the directory .
I
learned something and I am grateful to you . the file converted to an eml
file . but the content and sender ID got lost . when I opened the mail
that
I had converted I got : unspecified sender and the mail content was either
empty or garbled, distorted.
So apparently it does not worK . If you have an email address I could send
that message to you so you could see the result .
regards .

Hi Antoine,

You have to go to the directory where the eml files are. So from

C:\Users\Antoine Granatino

type

CD appdata
CD Local
CD Microsoft
CD Windows Mail
CD User0
CD Local Folders
CD Inbox (or whatever the appropriate directory is)

and then you should be in the correct directory. You can type

Dir

and that should list the eml% files. Then type

rename *.eml%* *.eml

see if you can get there okay.

Steve hello . what I did was as follows :
I went on the directory where these files were contained
Then I went to command promt
What I got on the black screen was :
C:\Users\Antoine Granatino>

Despite the fact the folder root was : C:\Users\Antoine
Granatino\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail\User0\Local
Folders\local
folder ancient
Nevertheless after C:\Users\Antoine Granatino>

I typed following :
Rename *.eml.%%%OECustomProperty* *.eml*
So what was displayed on the command prompt sceen was :
C:\Users\Antoine Granatino> rename *.eml.%%%OECustomProperty* *.eml*

And the answer that I get is : specified file not found

Please tell me what I did wrong .
Thanks .

Go to the directory with those files in it via the Command Prompt and
type

rename *.eml%* *.eml

see if if that works.

It sounds as if you have some 3rd party program interfering and you
need
to
figure out what it is and get rid of it. See point 3 here:

You tried the WMUtil utility? ( http://www.oehelp.com/WMUtil )

If no improvement, try Windows Live Mail:

I'm not sure if Windows Live Mail will be able to auto-import
your damaged emails, but it will make a valiant effort.
