Any good sites that can walk you through transferring everything from
the
Live Mail to a new mail client?

I have T-bird 24.0 as my email client and use Forté's Agent 4.0 as my
Usenet agent, both under Win-7.

Yes, I'm a bit of a Luddite but they work for me.

My T-bird will import stuff like contacts and emails by going to
"Tools" on the tool bar and selecting "Import". Unfortunately, v-24
only imports from MS's Outlook and Outlook Exress. Perhaps later
versions will import from more programs.

Agent will import stuff, too, but V-4 seems to only import messages
from files inside folders. It will also import addresses and NZB's.
Again, maybe later versions do better.

To import in Agent: "File", "Import and Export", "Import" from the
toolbar at the top of the frame. And, yes, later versions probably
have this tool under different sub-menus.


Old versions of Thunderbird:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/

Latest release: https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/ or "/en-GB/ or
whatever local language you prefer.

Note: T-bird has Mac OS and *Nixxy versions as well as Win-64 and
Win-32 ones. It can also be found in various languages at
https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/all/ , including such
esoteric ones spoken by only a handful of people as "US English".

Forté Agent, older versions:
http://www.forteinc.com/agent/download-all.php

Agent's latest: http://www.forteinc.com/agent/download.php


Note: all Agents seem to be 32-bit and they are *definitely* Windows
only. No *Nixxy, no Mac OS though it does run well in emulators and
bottlers such as WINE and CrossOver.

I know none of this helps but maybe someone will need it someday.

Thanks,

Good grief. I thought you had morphed into Vanguard :-)

Not me, pal. Maybe Paul could do that but I am far too lazy to do a
good impression of young Vanny.

That guy must touch-type at about 400 words per minute. Me, I use
three or five fingers (depending on what a "thumb" is classed as) and
need to see both the keyboard and the screen to know what I'm doing.

Paul and Vanguard are treasured resources, are kind and are very good
at helping. I'm just a precocious, auto-didactic dilettante with a
penchant for novelty.

Thanks to all who responded.
A lot of helpful info and I will be doing it within a week, I hope.
Thanks again.

It's nice to get a pat on the head for our efforts. It doesn't happen
often.

My niece said "thank you" when I helped her with issues. I was
actually *successful* in solving them for her which impressed me no
end.

Solving Win-ten problems when you are doing it from a ten-year-old
memory of playing with the OS in a shop is *cool*.

Especially when half-awake.
