VISTA: Import/export, The Contact Lists Havent Transfered
Mar 23, 2008
this "new" software just terminates whatever I'm in the middle of to update itself. hence I loose it all...most annoying...especially when it was a letter... The contact lists havent transfered....I paid for the software and the cable and everything...NONE TO BE FOUND IT INFORMS ME.... nowhere to be found even when I try to import/export.... also, the language is nowhere to be found.. when I try to do a spell check.. I actually hate this new vista and also all the changes to HOTMAIL. Who wants msn???not me... When I type in www.hotmail.com why should I write xxxxx@hotmail.com instead of like yahoo when all I write is my name not @ YAHOO.COM..its pathetic..then i have to go through another hoop and click on email to get to my hotmail.. Tired of all of Microsofts gimmicks... theyre annoying especially when we have to get used to them just to change again... It all defies logic... I am so sick of it.. I wonder if I can scrap this VISTA and replace it with XP? Anyone got any solutions... I cant stop hotmail.. I've had it since before bill gates owned it.. 10 years.. wish i could...

I've just upgraded from XP and am new to Vista and this forum. My wife & I have seperate log-in accounts on vista ultimate in hopes that it would alow us to also have seperate email and contact lists. As of now we have sererate email accounts also but share a contact list between us and want to have our own, except that vista doesn't seem to allow us to do so. Is this something we'll have to live with or is there a fix somewhere?

All the help screens tell me to click on the 'Contacts" icon on the toolbar and this will show an option "New Contact Group" to set up contact groups for mail. Well it does not! I am a very long time computer user with years of experience and never had this problem with Outlook Xpress. I know how to set up groups but cannot find the path to it. I have Vista Ultimate.

I use my IP to check my emails 1st; once I open the program my emails get 'dumped' into my email program(s) which are Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 and "IncrediMail". HOWEVER; NONE of the 3 have the same 'email addresses' listed in them. Do I have to go into each and 're-type' or 'type' the ones that are missing or possibly changed or incorrect? Please be specific. I go to my IP to check my emails in order to use THEIR servers' protection; then I use the one I have on my computer.

I tried to import my favorites from one PC to another. I got multiple Favorites folders. Then I delete everything in the Favorites folder and tried importing again. Now when I add to favorites, I see something totally different in the drop down box than what is left on my screen. The two are no the same. What do I need to do to make them the same? Does the export/import not work correctly?

Instructions to export contacts are to open the contacts folder - select Tools - select Export. However, when I select Tools in the contact folder I have only 4 choices - Map Network - Disconnect Network Drive - Open Sync Center - Folder Options. I cannot find the options to Import or Export anywhere. I want to export the email addresses so they can be used on my laptop running XP pro.

I want to backup my emails in Win Mail (Vista home premium) - all of them so theres hundreds of them in dozens of folders I have created. So I go file - export - messages, select a format, select an EMPTY folder on my 1TB external drive, then try to export. I either get an error message telling me that some files may be corrupt, or that the destination folder may be too small. Or if I select just a tiny folder to export, it says export successful, but it only exports ONE email - the top one in the list I think? I really dont think I have corrupted files here - any folder I select to export seems to have a problem... as my motherboard is flakey, and I want to do the backup ASAP before it 'flakes' again!

I'm very disappointed that windows mail doesn't support folders in the contact area. I hope some one from Microsoft see this and they reconsider putting a update to re add this feature. I just got this computer and already I want to send it back. I really need folders to keep my contacts sorted. Either add the option or let me download the old Outlook to install. And buying Office outlook is not a option.

How do I get my address book to show up in my Vista Email? I have put my email addresses from my old comp into my new Vista syst. and windows mail and they are stored as contacts list. They do not show up when I try to send an email from Windows Mail. I have to go to the list, copy it and place it in the send message myself. I have tried to import this list into the windows mail and it won't do it.

I have a rather odd situation, or at least for me, as I have never seen this problem before. The Contacts list in the To dropdown list in the Create mail windows does not match the Contacts list when I click on the Contacts icon on the toolbar of the WinMail window.
The names in the To list are listed with the last name first, which I never do, at least, not by intent. There are also names in the To list that are not in the correct Contacts list, and some that are in the correct Contacts list but not in the To list. There are some of the names from the Messenger that I never send emails to so I don't know how they are getting in that list. It really is irksome to start to send an email and click on the To tab in the email window and the name I want is not listed in that list, but, is in the regular Contacts list, I I have to type in the whole thing, or take the time to look up the name in the correct list and copy past the addy to the To bar in the email............

I have a very long excel spreadsheet with email address in one column. With the older outlook product I was always able to cut and paste the column into the TO field and send mass emailings. Now that I am using winmail I get an error when I try to do this: CHECK NAMES: no matches found ........I have a clunky work around-I have added semicolins to each email address in the excel sheet but this of course is not a useful permanent fix. Can someone tell me how to turn off the "check names" feature or if this is not possible, how winmail can be used with excel to send mass mailings.

I had two 100 name distribution lists in Outlook Express; when all data was transferred to new computer with VISTA, the lists were all messed up. Appears Windows Mail removes anywhere from the 1st three letters from the addresses. I seems to fix those I know what the real address should be but they keep changing (& getting between 50 & 100 undeliverables).

I want to copy ME/OE 5 emails to Vista/Windows Mail. If I use, File/export/mesages in OE does that leave my emails in OE and just copy them or does it "cut" them out of OE5 so that they will no longer be there? I want the files on both machines. The procedures I've seen refer to moving .dbx files from an XP system rather than an ME sys, is there a different procedure for ME? Can I move just the "sent items" instead of all of the OE5 folders?

Windows Mail's export only works to the local hard drive (heaven knows why). vereything works fine up to that point. Then the last step - copying the export from the hard drive to a removable medium fails. Eg I put the export into a folder on the desktop, but it won't copy to a USB flash stick: it gets started and then hangs - suddenly saying it will take 20+ hours to complete. There is no conceivable space issue. How can I do this last step, which is the key step? Have MS put in a spoiler?

Is it possible to import directly from an Outlook data file (.pst)? The wizard seems to only work if you have an active installation, which I do not after upgrading from XP to Vista 64 (along with a new motherboard, processor and memory). I had the older version of Office Home and Student that came with Outlook, but Office 2007 Home & Student does not.

My old PC had Outlook (or Outlook Express) and I saved off the emails by selecting them all and dragging them to a folder on my network. Doing this creates an msg file for each email. Now, like I've done many times in the past, I would like to import them into the emailprogram of a new laptop. So I dragged the msg files into Vista Windows Mail and instead of importing the messages it creates a brand new email with these msg files as attachments! The only reason I save email in this manner is because Microsoft really dropped the ball when it came to transferring email from one PC to another. I forget which it was but either Outlook or Outlook Express was so bad it was a disaster. This method always worked so this is what I've decided to do. Now it looks like Microsoft's found a way to f*** this up too.

Running Outlook 2003 on Vista Business. Have copied outlook express folder from old PC to C: on Vista. Import says "Cannot open mail folder". I imported into Windows Mail so it isn't a security problem, as the folder and all subfolders/files are owned by the user who has full control of the folder and files. What can the problem be? Is it because there is no email acount set up as yet?

I'm running Vista home premium 64bit. New computer, new operating system I wanted to import some pics from my camera (nikon D300) and noticed that there is no longer a "camera, photo, scanner wizard" like XP had. I decided to try and use the windows live photo gallery. I picked the groups I wanted to copy off of my camera. Gave them a name or tag. Went to import options and choose my writable drive to import them to. I get this box: options/import options: you cannot import to this folder. Choose another location. I have tried both a CD / DVD, and I know there is room. I went into windows explorer and manually copied the pics to the writable drive so I know its working. So my question is: Why wont Windows live photo gallery let me save my photo's off of my camera to my writable drive?
