I just bought a new computer (Dell), with Vista installed. I imported my old
emails from Outlook Express 6 (all dbx files including folders.dbx), avoiding the double directory name issue, and the process went fine; all of my messages
showed up, in an "Imported Folder" folder.

I subsequently moved all of the imported messages to the Local Folder (the
messages in the "Inbox" in the imported folder were moved to the Inbox in my
Local Folder ... ditto for Sent Items and Deleted Items). This was also no
problem.

I was even able to send an email. I had addressed it to myself, and I immediately received a copy of the email in my
Inbox.

I then closed the program, thinking it was working perfectly. However, when
I ran the program again, I was unable to see any messages in any folders.
When I highlight "Local Folders" I do get a detailed listing of how many
emails are in the various folders I had imported (as well as how many emails
are in my Inbox), but when I highlight my Inbox, there are no message headers.

In addition, I can no longer send or receive email using Windows Mail.

My Vista Mail looks garbled and completely messed up.

I found someone on another forum who had exactly the same problem a few months ago, but no solution was given

 

I run the software as preinstalled by Dell, nothing added yet (so Works, but Office not yet installed yet, McAfee service Center 7 and so on)

Please advise. You help is greatly appreciated.
