[Jack]

account settings and messages supposed to be transferred using WET (Windows
Easy Transfer).
They were not.
How to import them manually?

Try File | Import | Messages and choose OE6 format and then point to the old
message store. See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4 also for OE help.

Thanks
How about account settings?

Try File | Import | Messages and choose OE6 format and then point to the
old message store. See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4 also for OE help.

The account settings are in the registry in XP, but in .oeaccount files in
Vista, so its not an easy thing to do. Some have reported success with IAF
files (from OE, Tools | Accounts | Export and then in WinMail, Tools |
Accounts | Import), but I haven't tried it.

I've done it and had it work.

Same here, .iaf import worked fine.
