A laptop crashed (permanently) and I have copied 5,000 sent emails from the hard drive into a documents library folder on my desktop using Testdisk. Everything else was fully backed up. My wife wants to be able to refer back to them regularly. Both the laptop and the desktop have Windows 7 operating systems with Windows Live Mail downloading from a POP3 server, sending via SMTP server, if that is relevant.
The files will open individually with Live Mail by double clicking, but are essentially unusable as they are, since they all show the same created date and have no proper names. I would rather not re-index 5,000 sent emails! When Trying to Import them into Live Mail the error message "No messages can be found in this folder or another application is running that has the files open. Please select another folder or close the application..." is received.
I have rebooted the computer, moved the files and also tried "Save as file" after opening them. I can continue to open them individually but Live Mail still fails to "see" them. I have also tried importing them into a Windows 8 laptop with Live Mail and got the same message.
Any ideas?
