I have bought a new PC with Vista basic.
Opened Windows mail, set accounts up no problems.
I have copied the files (.dbx) from my old PC into a folder on my Vista PC.
I click file, import, messages, select Outlook Express 6 (which it was),
click select folder to import from, click browse, select the folder I have
transfered them to. I get the message no files match your search.
Why isn't my PC recognising my email folders? There are no other
applications running.
Help please?
 
I have tried everything I can think of. Windows mail just says no files match.
Help anyone?
 
I am having exactly the same problem and this 'red link' does not help
either... How do I 'fiddle with it' to get the 'correct path'?
 
I just updated that and described how to fiddle. <G> First select the path
and hit okay. It will then have the double path. Then click the browse
button a second time, but don't select anything and then click on okay.
Then it will have the single path again. Then click next.

stupid bug
