Question asked on Apr 1, 2014

I have just migrated from Windows XP to Windows 7, and therefore also had to migrate from Outlook Express to Windows Live Mail. After setting up my POP3 account, I imported all my legacy Outlook Express DBX files into Windows Live Mail using the "Import messages" utility. The import process proceeded without a problem; however, I have since noticed that all the Reply and Forward status flags are missing from all the legacy mail. Is this limitation by design, as in the Windows Live Mail importer is unable to preserve reply and forward status flags, or is there a way to restore them?

Thanks,

Rod.
