Re: Import former backup Windows Mail folder???
Hi: Thanks for the 2 replies. I found my lost email folders by doing a
search on inbox, drafts and etc. Before that I had imported my email folders
from Windows XP. Then I changed the location of my backup (maintenance) to a
location in the 'C' directory. I then copied the found files into my backed
up email folders on the 'C' drive. Now I am thinking I should have left the
original Windows Vista maintenance location alone instead of changing to my
location on the 'C' drive?
