Import messages to Windows Mail from other e-mail programs

You can switch to Windows Mail from your existing e‑mail program without losing access to your existing e‑mail messages. Windows Mail can import messages from a variety of popular e‑mail programs, such as Outlook Express, Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft Outlook*.

1.     Open Windows Mail.

2.     Click the File menu, point to Import, and then click Messages.

3.     Follow the instructions to import your e‑mail messages.

Notes

• When you import messages, Windows Mail does not import account settings. To import e‑mail account settings, click the Tools menu, click Accounts, and then click Import.
• (* : The Windows Mail was written more than 10 years ago. There is no guarantee that the import procedure will work correctly with the latest versions of Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft Outlook.
