Deleting Mail From One Computer But Keeping It On A New One.
Jul 29, 2009
I have just bought a new computer and transferred all my email accounts (3 accounts in total) and all the e-mail messages in each 3 over to my new computer. I should mention that one of the accounts is an Imap account. What I am trying to do is delete all the e-mail messages in each account on my old computer so that it is completely clean so I can then give it to my daughter without any of my messages on there.
The first time I deleted all of the emails on my old computer, it also deleted all of them on my new computer as well. How can I keep all of my emails that were transferred to my new computer and delete all of them on my old one without affecting my new computer? Is it a question of deleting each actual account in my old one completely? Or by doing this, will I subsequently delete all of the accounts on the new one as well?

I'm using Windows Mail for my emails. When I exit the program, all the messages in the Delete Folder are permanently deleted. Under earlier versions you had the option of keeping messages in the delete folder when existing. I can't find that option in the current version of Windows Mail.

I have Windows Vista Ultimate x64, and it came with 2 set of program files: program files, and program files x86. Since my hard drive is only 100 gigs, I was wondering if I could delete the normal program files and keep the x86 ones, or would that cause problems?

Recently got the big update which successfully self-installed and I am running Vista Home Premium 32 bit and Windows Mail version 6.0. I went to my inbox, read my mail, and got out of Windows Mail. When I went to check mail again, I launched Windows Mail again and discovered that the program now deletes all opened mail. I cannot find a setting within the program that allows/denies this.
I run a business from home, and all the threads from my customer service efforts are gone. I am working blind. Every call now is a first time contact, and that makes me look very, very bad. how do I keep opened mail in my inbox (or elsewhere). Does anyone else have that problem and know a solution? Also, I deleted a large quantity of emails from other folders in case it was a memory problem; it all started concurrently with that update.

When I open an email in deleted mail folder I get the messaage "Message could not be displayed." At this point I cannot delete this email. The following message comes up when I try to delete this message "Windows mail encountered an un expected problem while displaying this message. Check your computer for low memory or low disc space and try again." How do I empty this folder?

I am running Windows Vista. I am having a problem with Windows Mail inthat every time I switch between folders, the last e-mail in my Inbox disappears. It doesn't go into the Deleted Items folder, it just vanishes. I have lost several important e-mails today.

How can I stop emails from being deleted from the BT internet webserver after they have transferred to Windows mail? There used to be a setting in Outlook which would leave emails on the BT internet webserver for, say, 30 days... but I can't find this setting in Windows mail?

Today I had a need to find some questions and responses that I'd sent to and received from, some of the MS newsgroups (including this one). It seems that Vista Mail has auto-magically deleted a large number of old newsgroup messages that I had previously downloaded to my machine, so I've lost that history. I've been through all the dialog boxes I could find and I cannot find any "delete downloaded news messages after ...." option. Odder still, if I use the Mail search tool to find messages, it finds some.
If I then go back to the message viewer, that gets refreshed and the search "hits" disappear from the found items dialog. Are old messages actually being deleted from the MS servers somewhere and my local cache is then being kept up to date by deleting the old messages? So the question is, "How do I prevent Vista Mail from deleting old newsgroup messages?".

I despair. Until recently I was running OE on Windows 98 and I regularly had problems with this same issue. I've gone onto Windows Mail with Vista and everything seem to be fine for the first month deleting mails en masse until now. I've got 299 items in my deleted folder and I can't empty it other than
by deleting one at a time.

I would like to install Windows 7 on top of my existing Vista Ultimate installation thus retaining all the programs and data. I realize this may not be the best way to move to the new OS but I can't bear the thought of having to reinstall all the programs if I do a clean install. Will it be possible to do this and if so, what are the drawbacks?

I have finally got my 64 bit DVD from Germany of all places I thought it would of been Ireland for UK delivery, the length of time it's taken I thought it was on a carrier pigeon from Redmond ! Now seriously..........I am perfectly confident about installing and gathering the required drivers (already have as you might expect) and checked any software probs. Here's the bit were I'm unsure.OK first it has to be a clean install, there is no upgrade path from Vista HP x86 to the same X64 version, for obvious reasons. I have a clean primary partition on a different HDD to the 32 bit version where I will install it, the thing is can I install a trial version for 30 days as you can with 32 bit ? I don't want to activate it which will I presume cobble my 32 bit install with which there are no problems whatever, so I really want to evaluate the 64 bit for at least a couple of weeks before deciding to keep it and waste the 32 bit install. I have no interest in extending the allowed activation period (that's assuming you don't have to do it straight off cos you got 32 bit already).To sum up, I want to install x64 on a clean new HDD, keeping the 32 bit on it's own drive, can I do this and run the x64 for 30 days or whatever before I need to activate with the same code as the 32 bit which I have to assume makes the 32 bit no longer a valid install.............not prepared to extend period or try to hide drives or any other obstensibly against EULA terms, just want to have a reasonable 'test' period before the decision of which to keep.If anyone can find information about this I will be grateful to say the least, as some will be aware I'm not exactly a novice installing systems or indeed researching, but for the life of me I cannot find any 'answer' to my ponderings, all very well theorising how it should reasonably work, I just like to be sure.

Is there anyway that I can keep folder sizes to remain constant? For example, in my documents folder, I like the folders to be large, however at times they will be small or in list view. Is there anyway to set the size to remain large no matter what?

I plan to build a new computer with Vista as the OS using a 500gb or larger hard drive. What's the current trend toward partitions? One partition, two or more? OS by itself on a separate partition? Programs on another, then media files on another? Any advantage to keeping XP (at all) on a separate partition?

When I open a folder that contains a large number of files they are off the "viewable" window area. I end up having to use the handles to resize the window so I can see all my files. When I close the window and reopen it, it has reverted back to the small size and I have to resize it again. This doesn't happen on my XP machine a home. Is there a way to make the resized window remain the size I need it? Or is this a quirk of Vista?

I'm using Vista Home Basic/Premium. Currently the system decides when it wants to make restore points. That's okay with me because it remembers to do so before I make system changes, etc. I like to create manual restore points. I do this when making major changes I want to be able to roll back to (like installing SP1) and I want to keep these restore points for an indefinite time. However, the system puts these restore points in the same queue as the system defined restore points. Now for the question: Is there a way to make a restore point "permanent?" I do want the system to overwrite my restore points until *I* decide that they are no longer needed.

I use Windows Live Mail. How do I move my mail and folders from my old computer to my new computer? I thought it would be as simple as signing in on my new computer, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I receive mail on my desktop with Windows XP and Outlook Express. Until recently, I have also been receiving the same mail messages (having been saved on my server) on my laptop running Windows Vista with Windows Mail.
All of a sudden Windows Mail is indicating I have "no new messages" yet my desktop is still receiving new mail.

can both run on one vista computer. Microsoft mail with one email provider (work) and outlook with another(school)? any special setup required. I suppose each will have its own contact manager, but one could be used.

When I attempt to open Windows Mail for the first time each day the splash screen appears and then, 9 times out of 10, my computer freezes. This only happens the first time each day. It opens instantly for the remainder of the day. I am forced to power off and reboot which can happen 1 to 3 times before Windows Mail will open. I am running Vista with SP1. I have not installed anything new and no settings have been changed.

I'm not sure the best way to ask this. I have searched for the answer and asked Yahoo live and have not gotten anywhere. Here's my situation. I had a notebook computer that I bought and I installed ypops so that I could get my yahoo mail in the new Windows mail program. It went crazy and downloaded 400 of my emails from my yahoo account, which deleted them from there for good, before I could stop it. Well, I sent that computer back because it had a million problems. Now, I have a law suit going on with a company that I paid to customer make some furniture and they are not producing it. My attorney wants copy's of correspondence. Most of those emails were downloaded via ypops from Yahoo into Windows mail on the other laptop that I forgot to back-up or forward to this computer or any other....
Are those emails out there somewhere. Can I set up windows mail now on this computer and somehow have those there. I did not delete them. I guess, in essence I am hoping they still exist "somewhere in cyber space." And if so, how do I set up windows mail now in order to get the same results. I would have to use ypops again I suppose but I am hoping someone has a magic answer.

When I click on my windows mail icon, it won't launch unless I restart my computer. Then it will launch and works fine but if I close the program, it won't launch again. I also get an error message that says the following: Outlook Express at 0x0359399d referenced memory at 0x0000006c. The memory could not be written. Click ok to terminate the program. At the top of the window this message appears in it says the following Outlook Express Foldersync Window Class: WinMail. exe-application error.
