Hi everybody,
I have a computer with Vista Business and an e-mail account on Windows Mail. I want to use The Bat!. I am using an evaluation copy and I plan to purchase the software if I can import the messages.
The only way I found to do that is to export the messages into .eml files and then import them into The Bat!.
It's a long process, because I have many, many inbox sub folders, but if it gets the job done, so be it.
The problem is that this system is not what I need.
When I import the .eml e-mail messages into my The Bat! inbox folder, the received date is not the original one, but it's the date when the import took place. The "created" data is ok, though.
Now I have thousands of messages all received today.
I can't have it that way, I need a way to keep my original received data.
Is there a way to do that?
If only I didn't migrate my account from OE to WM, I would have been able to use the Mailbox Import Wizard, but now I am stuck with Windows Mail because I do not have my old OE message folder.
Even if I had it, though, I would lose 2 months of messages, and that's something I can't have either.
If I can't find a way to move my messages the way I want, I can't use the bat! for my work e-mail.
I will purchase it nonetheless, because I find it a great e-mail program and I will use for my personal e-mail, but the business account is the one I need the most.
I hope somebody can help me out.
Thank you all, whether you can help me or not.
Sebastiano
