Re: How to restore Outlook express IMAP files folders

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



All you should have to do in OE is go to Tools, Accounts, Mail and Add
you mail account as an IMAP account. When OE connects to the mail
server it will download the folder structure and messages.

As for issue two, you just need to do the same thing in your other mail
program. That's the beauty of IMAP. Any number of mail programs and/or
computers can access the same mail account and see the same messages.
That's because all the messages are stored/managed on the mail server.

Hello,

My outlook express in XP had been configured to read IMAP emails.
Have many subfolders - and copies of IMAP emails IS in my machine.
Now XP went under and I have new XP installed but Unable to restore
the
look and the feel of my old IMAP in my new outlook express.

Issue two:
I also had parallel mozill Imap mail on the same machine - in other
word I can read the same message(s) BOTH in outlook express and
Mozilla 1.x email on the same old machine.

What is the best way to restore thsi same look and feel of my old IMAP
folders.

Not many writeup on the subject out there.
