Hello,

I am sorry, I didn't find a way to start a new thread in this forum. I
searched the pages with the browser search for words like thread, new, post,
ask, question, and others alike, but nothing. Either I'm blind or it is quite
well hidden.

To my problem, now, please.

After a clean install of Windows 7, I installed Office 2007. I also
installed Windows Live Mail to use it as an intermediate to import mail
accounts. Therefore, I imported all my many e-mail accounts 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". Or is this forum dead and replaced with a new one, which I
couldn't find

Can someone please instruct me on how to overcome this problem?

Use a real newsreader and this problem will never recur.

I haven't played enough with Windows Live Mail and Outlook to be able to
answer the mail question.

Right below "Search For", is the word "New". Click that, and select
"Question".

Hello Brian,

You have helped me before and talked about your Yahoo mail account. It came
up I can't recall why.I had another nick. I hope you are doing fine.

Thank you for your tip. I'll follow your advice.

About transferring e-mail accounts, I have always done it with the IAF
files. These files can always be installed on Outlook and Windows Mail. I
can't understand why Outlook 2007 does not "see" them now. I hope someone
else will be kind and tell me how to solve this unexpected problem.

Thanks again.

The ability to import an IAF file into Outlook has not existed since Outlook
2000 in IMO mode. No later version of Outlook could import IAF files.
Instead, Outlook 2002, 2003, and 2007 should be able to import internet
account settings from a properly configured Outlook Express. I thought that
importing from Windows Mail was possible as well, but I haven't tried it
myself. I don't think it's possible to import from Windows Live Mail, though.

Well, Brian, thank you for the tip.

However, I stayed without an answer. I add a related new question:

Does the Outlook 2007 "Import internet mail account settings" function work
with Windows Live Mail as it did with Outlook Express and Windows Mail, or is
it a new gift from Microsoft disabling the function just to make our lives
easier? Or else, am I having an issue?

All help clarifying this point will be very welcome?

Thanka Bob, but there is nothing that you say in my browsers. It was like
that before, but changed, disappeared.

Why can't I get an answer to my question? Is it so difficult or is iy too
recent and people do not know the answer yet?

I don't know the answer to that, since I haven't tried it. But I do have WLM
and Outlook on the same PC at home, so if I get a chance, I'll try it.
