Windows Mail and 3rd party messages

Hi,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

Please assist me with the following information related to this issue:

• May I know what exactly do you mean when you say "download messages from 3rd party into Windows Mail"?
• Are you referring to Mail app on Windows 10? If so, are you able to receive any send email via Mail app?

If you are facing issues with Mail app, I suggest
run the in-built Windows Store app troubleshooter and check. Follow the steps:

• 
  Press Windows Key + X..
  
• 
  Click on Control Panel.
  
• 
  Select Troubleshooting.
  
• 
  On the left pane, click on View All.
  
• 
  Click on Windows Store apps to run the troubleshooter.
  

Let us know if the issue is resolved or if you require further assistance.

 

Merge Message Storage Folders in Windows Live Mail (or not).

Hi all,


I've messed up, and I hope that someone can help me out.


I've set up Windows Live Mail on a new system (Windows 10),
then downloaded a lot of messages from the server to the
default folder that WLM sets up on installation.


I know how to change that default folder:


File > Options > Mail ...
Advanced > Maintenance ...


Store Folders


C:\Users\Sys_2016\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail




My problem is that I did not do that before letting WLM
go online and download messages, and I have all of the old
messages from the system that I was previously using as
my email client copied to a folder on my new system.


What I want to do is to merge everything from the default folder
that WLM has downloaded my most-recent messages into with
everything from the folder that I've copied over from the old system.




But I may not have to, if WLM behaves as I hope that it might.




If I just change the download folder (using the steps above)
to the folder path on the logical drive that has all of my
old messages, would WLM then redownload all of the messages
that it has downloaded in the meantime?


(All of the messages are still on the server.)


That seems too simple, and I'm concerned that I'm going to
mess myself up more than I already have.


Thanks!
