I recently recovered a large number of emails from MSN explorer off a failed hard drive. I'm trying to import them into the MSN local folders on the client's new disk.
I physically put the files in the MSN local folder C:\Documents and Settings\clientname\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN\db
. The user's other emails were in that folder too, so I'm pretty sure it was the right one. However, MSN explorer does not list those emails in the stored folders. I went through all the menus but I couldn't find any setting to sync MSN local folders. I guess it's supposed to happen automatically but isn't. Any ideas?
What kind of files are you working with? Is it EML files? Don't you have an option to import e-mails in the MSN Explorer window? Even though, as you say, you moved or copied the email files to that folder where MSN Explorer stores e-mails, it's possible that MSN Explorer doesn't see them because they have not been registered by the program. Why use MSN Explorer in the first place? I thought that product was discontinued by now. What version is it?... – Samir – 2012-06-13T22:13:32.363
It's version 10. It's still in use, much to the dismay of technically minded friends of the ever shrinking user base. – Yitzchak – 2012-06-13T23:00:59.980
