Hi!
I successfully migrated from Outlook Express to Windows Mail! Only one bug:
I had about 50 groups of 50 addresses in OE but the groups did not migrate
to Windows Mail!
How can I transfer the groups to Windows Mail?
thanks
Luce
 
have yet to hear anyone getting the GROUPS to migrate across.

I have exactly the same problem

No-One knows the answer

I consider this flaw to be utter *rap.

After spending hours creating these groups over many years from email
enquiries to my website, I now find it impossible to use with WM

*rap

Hope Vista Service Pack 1 addresses this, and WM inability to handle
large address books without coughing and spluttering

I did the open .wab file import and my groups came with in.
On the Contacts view in Explorer type *.group in the "Search Current View"
box and the groups display in the right panel. If I double click on the group
the contacts in that group are listed - just as in XP's Address Book.
When I type in the name of the group when composing a msg I get the group.

Clumsy but the group function is still there. Of note a couple of the
groups are duplicated and I get and error when I double click.

More info on what is going on would be appreciated.
