Outlook 2000 took AOL emails and won't give them back!

[Mark or Libbie McCutcheon]

Tried to get a person using Outlook instead of aol.com to get their aol emails. Outlook 2000 set up OK and moved all 500 emails over and they showed up fine.

However I got an error saying the WAB DLL address book was missing, and I did not have the CD's to fix it. (So you can't send emails or save contacts.)

So she needed to keep using AOL.com but the inbox emails are gone! AOL gives a way to transfer emails but not to the same email address!

Where can I find them and where do I move them back to?

Please help! I have a very unhappy friend!

Is this person using Vista? See http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/vista_wab.htm.

What type of account did you set up in Outlook? If IMAP they aren't gone unless you moved them out of the Inbox. Is there a view set on AOL that hides read or previously downloaded messages?

She is using Vista. I will check that link. And I set it up as POP3.
One thing we wanted Outlook for is the Calendar and tasks. I did not see that under Vista's Microsoft or windows mail.

Also, the emails did not transfer over to Windows mail. (I set that up too as a backup and new emails are going there but the old emails are not there.

How can I get them there?

Please set OE to post to these groups using Plain text, not HTML. Thank you.

Vista has it's own Contacts and Calendar. You can access either from the
Windows Mail main window, or by doing Start-All Programs-Windows
Calendar/Contacts

I changed to plain text, sorry.

How can I get the 500 aol emails sent before setting up Windows Vista mail
into Windows mail? Right now we can't get Outlook to work so we can't see
them there either... until I get back over there with the Outlook CD.
