1379527	2014-07-18 06:53:00	I still trying to import my mail messages, from Microsoft Mail, to Thunderbird. Using the info, in the link above, I've backed up all the messages to a folder, on another drive but can find no way of telling Thunderbird about the folder. What happens when you open the actual email folders, and drag the .eml files as Suggested ? Thunderbird often Needs plugins to do basic things like importing /backing up. The plugin that can be used is addons.mozilla.org but the drag and drop works easier ( normally) Just another reason I personally hate TB - Its not good for doing some basic tasks other email clients can do. ( to much fluffing about) I'm looking at removing Vista and either going for Windows 7, or Linux. What OS are you using Windows or Linux, as there can be a huge difference when suggesting programs /fixes.	wainuitech (129)

Comes us and can only select Outlook, which I've never used. Down load a program that was suggested, but can't access that neither. I give up and goto bed.	ianhnz (4263)

I give up and goto bed. Dont know if reading the reply correctly, but you dont use any of Tbirds settings to import - its a useless at importing other programs mails. As long as the mail has exported out OK from Windows Live, you will see a folder structure similar to below, its a customers Live mail I've saved earlier today as an example, the saved folder is on an external drive: 5849 In the above, I would open the clear.net ---- you dig down through the folders you will see them all, in this case I'm opening "inbox" and there are all their mails: 5850 Are you getting similar ? Note: the pic's above are showing as Outlook Icons because This PC has Office 2013 Which has outlook.	wainuitech (129)

1379531	2014-07-30 12:09:00	I use Eudora 7, and have an XTRA account. Xtra have said that I need to set my SMTP from smtp.xtra.co.nz to send.xtra.co.nz before 30 September otherwise I won't be able to send from Eudora. I change the settings and find the new setting doesn't work. I could change to Outlook and use my Money to buy the full product, but don't want to do this plus the hassle of transferring all my contacts and address book. I tried to email Telecom they said they do not answer emails so i would need to ring them on their 0800 number, and they will take forever and a day to answer the phone. When I try send.xtra.co.nz the program says Could not connect to send.xtra.co.nz. Cause: connection timed out (10060). How can I fix this with Eudora, please, as I don't want to spend all day waiting for Telecom's phones to be answered.	diddums (17272)

(thats Outlook, not Outlook express) Its the easiest ever program move its email one pc to another , and unlike other MS email programs, it doesnt get discontinued every other year . Only disadvantage is flackey imap support.	1101 (13337)
