I recently had to export incredimail messages to outlook express and I found a program called incrediconvert that would do just that. It was very easy to use and it exported all of my messages. The only problem I ran into was with folders created in the inbox in incredimail. I had to create new folders in outlook express and then drag the messages into the new folders.

Here is the site where I found it:

i am wanting to get rid of incredimail as well - only because it wont let me work in it unless i am online - it keeps freezing up...

i have been told that you cant convert them; but i know for a fact that if you send them to a web account (hotmail, yahoo, etc) that they show up just fine... i am going to go look at this incrediconvert URL, but if that doesnt pan out, i will just resend everything i want to keep to my hotmail acct... then once i install Outlook, i will download the email and go through and soft manually...

what you could do is forward the emails to a hotmail account and then open outlook or outlook express and set-up your hotmail account in it. it will then ask you if you want to download the folders that is already in your hotmail mail box. viola!

hope it helps.

Try the incrediconvert and I think you will be pleased. As for forwarding the messages to a hotmail accout, wouldn't this make all the messages say they are from whatever your email address is and therefor it would make it difficult to know who sent them unless you open them? I know for me I like to keep the original sender so I can sort them by whow they were sent from.

obviously if there is a easy way to convert the file format, that would be the ideal way to go. i was only giving an alternative.

well i for one appreciate every suggestion i get from the website... some i have thought of myself / some i had thought of but leary of trying without knowing it worked for someone else / and some things - like magic folders and this incrediconvert - were things i didnt even know were available.

i have no problem sending everything back through hotmail; i was just trying to find an alternative since i am on a dial up connection and it would take a while...

<of course had i known the files wouldnt transfer between programs i would have never started using it... silly me, i thought email was email was email... i knew the &quot;frills&quot; would be different between programs; but i never thought there could be more than one basic format...

oh well - we live and we learn, and that which does not drive us insane just brings us a little closer to the edge lol...

thanks again guys - yall are great!

I just installed incrediconvert and it made maps with all *.eml files in each seperate maps. I read that you quote: &quot;I had to create new folders in outlook express and then drag the messages into the new folders.&quot;
How did you do that? I opened Outlook Express and made my original folders but when you look at them with a diffrent program they have the extension *.dbx so how can I drap and drop the *.eml files into each folder when they are not folders but *.dbx files.

Thanks,

Michelle

Michelle,

You have to keep outlook express open where you can see the folders you created and then drag the *.eml files that incrediconvert created into the folders you created in outlook express. If you have a lot of *.eml files just highlight all of the messages and drag them at one time.

I have found your threa on converting Incredimail messages and have attempted to utilize IncrediConvert (under Windows-ME). Everything goes well until I try to say OK on using exported mail...then I get a message showing an Address Violation at address 0041AD3D in IncrediConvert.exe

Any ideas how to proceed?

Can anyone tell me where the download site for incrediconvert is.

I also have a problem restoring my e-mails after I reinstalled my OS. The transfer to new computer will not restore my e-mails. Says check disk space!! no problem with disk space. is there any way to restore or at least make the data avaliable. The file is stored in a .cab file

Thanks

&quot;Sometimes you just need to find out what it's not first to figure out what it is.&quot;
