To Pete39 re:
You say remove all Windows Mail folders and files, even the ones in the Hidden Folders which are part of Windows 7.
Yes, remove ALL original Windows Mail files or you will have conflicts. It needs to be a clean slate to import to. But if you want, first do a back-up copy of the original saved to a storage folder. In my case I didn't bother, because it never worked anyway.
In the Techspot guide you first enable viewing of all hidden & protected files. This is precisely so you can remove any hidden files in the original Windows Mail folder in Program Files in Win7. In fact I totally deleted the entire original Windows Mail folder, (as distinct from files), before importing the entire Win Mail folder from Program files in Vista.
As you have 64 bit Win7 OS, just make sure you put the entire 64 bit imported Windows Mail folder from Vista, into the 64 bit Progrm files in Win7, in case your PC is running any old 32 bit programs, for which it will have a separate Program Files.
Hope this helps. Cheers PB
