Message: [QUOTE="Error, post: 4712311"] I FINALLY SOLVED IT!!!!! JUST WANTED TO SHARE THE INFORMATION HOW TO: THE PROBLEM IS, THAT ON WINDOWS 7 YOU'RE ACTUALLY NOT SUPPOSED TO USE WINDOWS MAIL ANYMORE (WINDOWS WANTS YOU TO USE WINDOWS -LIVE- MAIL). HOWEVER AS I DIDNT LIKE WINDOWS LIVE MAIL I MADE WINDOWS MAIL WORK AND USED IT. THE PROBLEM IS THIS WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY WITH OUTLOOK AND I THINK YOUR SYSTEM STILL ACTS AS IF IT WOULD NOT BE ON THE COMPUTER. WHAT I DID: 1) ACTIVATED WINDOWS MAIL ON WINDOWS 7 2) I IMPORTED ALL MY ORIGINAL BACK UP FILES (WHICH I EXPORTED FROM FROM WINDOWS MAIL WHEN STILL USING VISTA - BEFORE UPGRADING TO WIN7) TO WINDOWS MAIL. 3) I INSTALLED WINDOWS LIVE MAIL 4) I IMPORTED ALL MY E-MAILS AND CONTACTS FROM WINDOWS MAIL INTO WINDOWS LIVE MAIL. 5) AT LEAST NOW, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO IMPORT ALL E-MAILS FROM WINDOWS LIVE MAIL TO OUTLOOK 2007. BUT IN MY CASE OUTLOOK WAS STILL ASKING FOR A FOLDER- AND NO MATTER WHICH ONE I GAVE I GOT AN ERROR. 6) NOW HERE IS THE CLUE!!: YOU HAVE TO SET OUTLOOK 2007 AS YOUR DEFAULT CLIENT!! HOW? OPEN INTERNET EXPLORER -> GO TO EXTRAS -> INTERNET OPTIONS -> CLICK ON TAB "PROGRAMS" -> AT INTERNET PROGRAMMES, CLICK THE BUTTON TO SET/DEFINE PROGRAMMES -> NEW WINDOWS WILL OPEN, CLICK THE FIRST ONE "DEFINE/SET DEFAULT PROGRAMMES" -> DOUBLE CLICK ON OUTLOOK 2007 SO IT JUMPS IN THE RIGHT COLUMN -> OK. 7) NOW TELL WINDOWS LIVE MAIL TO EXPORT TO OUTLOOK: FILE -> EXPORT -> E-MAILS -> CHOOSE MICROSOFT EXCHANGE -> WINDOWS LIVE MAIL SHOULD NOT EXPORT ALL E-MAILS TO OUTLOOK 2007. DO THIS STEP AGAIN FOR CONTACTS IF YOU NEED. AS I HAVE WIN 7 IN GERMAN, MY PATH DESCRIPTIONS FOR WIN LIVE MAIL AND THE INTERNET OPTIONS MIGHT HAVE DIFFERENT NAMES AS IT IS ACTUALLY CALLED, BUT SHOULD BE CLOSE ENOUGH. IT SOUNDS ALL MORE COMPLICATED THAN IT IS. BUT IF HAVE TO ADMIT THAT IT WAS QUIET ANNYOING TO GET IT FINALLY WORKING. I WILL FROM NOW ON USE ONLY OUTLOOK 2007 AND NEVER AGAIN SWITCH BETWEEN WIN MAIL (OE) AND OUTLOOK. HAVE FUN!!AND THANKS TO MICROSOFT AT THIS POINT TO PROVIDE SUCH A "HELPFUL" ERROR MESSAGE AND A PRODUCT TO CUSTOMERS WITH SUCH "EASY HANDLING" AT SHAMELESS PRICES. [/QUOTE]
