Importing folders from Outlook Express - where did they go?
I want to move my Outlook Express Folders (maybe 50 of them) from old computer into Postbox in my new Dell Windows 7 system. I used Windows Easy Transfer to move all the ffiles from old to new machine. In Postbox I successfully used Import to import the Outlook Express address book. I then tried Import to bring in the Mail folders - it appeared to be doing this, and announced success. But they do not show up in filders panel or elsewhere. How do I find the old folders, which I assume I can continue to use under Postbox.?
Otherwise, I am finding Postbox very satisfactory. It was easy to set up my account and I like the tag and search features, also the links. I even like the Brit. brandname!

Inappropriate?I am a happy user today. Somehow, I woke up Postbox today and behold, all my old folders from OE were there, apparently with all hundreds and maybe a thousand messages saved within them. Clearly the Import command worked as programmed. Maybe I had to log out and log back in again? Maybe they took a longer time to load than I expected (they were numerous)? It also seems that I have two accounts - one with old transfers-in and one that is current. The imported folders only showed up when I clicked on the old account. Maybe someone from Postbox HQ just snuck in overnight and put them under my tree (it's a bit early for that...).
So my ratings of Postbox are now back up in the high smileys.

I’m very happy

Inappropriate?Glad it's working for you David. Maybe restarting made everything show up correctly?
