Windows 10: Windows Live Mail Import Problem

Hi and thanks for taking the time to look over my question. If it has already been posted, then I apologize, but I could not find it.

I've just upgraded to Win-10 from XP and I'm having an issue with Windows Live Mail 2012. Specifically, the contacts import feature.

I was using XP Home with Outlook Express as my email client. I did export both a .WAB (addressbook) file, as well as a .CSV file from my address book. However, I am not able to "import" it to the Windows Live Mail. At least I'm not able to get the contacts to show up in there.

The import option seems to go through the motions and appears to be working as it should, but when I hit the "To..." button to load a recipient's email address, there are no contacts displayed. It just says; "None of your contacts have an email address defined." I did google the problem, but I really did not find a solution.

The contacts seemed to load fine in the address book and I can see everybody's email addresses, so I'm not sure why I'm getting this error.

I should note that when I imported the contacts, Windows Contacts noted that one of the email addresses was bad, which is an indication that it did import something. Also, I did try using both files, a couple different times and no change.





TIA

error "File MSVCP110.dll missing. Reinstall program...."

This solved my problem too! As well as the use of Windows Live Mail, a much better (user friendly, complete) mail program than Mail. Important 'side problem' of killing Windows Live Mail was that I missed my mail archive since the mail backup cannot be imported
in Mail.

I also hope my F-secure problem is solved too.

 

Is there a way tom import all my emails from Windows Live Mail to the Mail app?
