| 1379324 | 2014-07-16 02:19:00 | I'm about to upgrade a friend's computer to Win 7. The installation completely erases everything, and she's dependent on her old emails. What files do I need to backup or copy to save them so she can access them afterwards? | Greg (193) | ||

| 1379326 | 2014-07-16 02:49:00 | Export the account settings from OE - they save as a .iaf file. (tools, accounts) Save c:\docs and settings\*user*\application data\microsoft\address book Save c:\docs and settings\*user*\local settings\application data\identities\looooooooooooooooooooong folder name\Outlook Express. Windows Live Mail imports all this natively - very easy. |

| 1379329 | 2014-07-16 22:24:00 | if they have MS Office with Outlook..... Outlook is a much better option of Win Live mail. Install outlook on the XP , it will give you the option of importing email: do that Outlook : file : export email as a PST : save that to USB or something Win7 : Install Outlook : import that PST You will still need to manually setup the email a/c, you'll need to know there email password. Revelation can extract email passwords . |
