How To Upload An .iaf File Into Windows Live Mail
Windows Live Mail To Outlook 2010
Feb 21, 2009
I have windows xp pro and vista on my computer. I find I like OE 6.0 on my xp pro to be much faster than windows mail, and I need to switch to windows mail. Unfortunately, i have several accounts on windows mail, and I have forgotten their passwords. So I exported each account in windows mail, and have saved the internet account settings (in *.iaf files). When I use the import function in OE 6.0 (Tools->accounts->Import), it won't let me import any account settings. I don't remember the passwords of a few of those accounts (which currently work with windows mail), but I need to create such accounts in OE 6.0. Is there a way I can migrate account settings in windows mail to OE 6.0?
After a clean install of Windows 7, I installed Office 2007, which I already used with Vista. I also installed Windows Live Mail, not to use it as an e-mail client, but only as an intermediate to import mail accounts, as I used to do with Outlook Express on XP and later with Windows Mail on Vista; Outlook 2003 and 2007 do not import e-mail accounts files. Therefore, I imported all my many e-mail accounts settings to Windows Live Mail from previously saved IAF files.
Until here all worked as expected. The problem is that now, when I try to 'Import internet mail account settings' from Windows Live Mail to Outlook it just answers 'No internet accounts were found to import'. How come? I don't understand.
Can someone kindly instruct me on how to overcome this problem, please?
