>> Thank you -
>>
>> OK I export from Windows Live Mail using the
>> File->Export->Messages->Microsoft Exchange (the confirm dialogue does in
>> fact say MS Exchange and MS Outlook), I select the folders I wanted
>> exported - basically everything except some feeds, news stuff etc, I
>> expected to be asked where I'd like the output stored, but no -- it went
>> off with fast moving progress bars for a few minutes and ended -
>> gracefully.
>>
>> I cant see anything in my documents folder, nor in WLMails Mail Store -
>> but I am not sure what it is I'm looking for.
>>
>> I looked for pst's but Locate32 only finds two fairly small ones in
>> C:\Documents and Settings\myname\Local Settings\Application
>> Data\Microsoft\Outlook\. Search Assist finds the same .pst's in the same
>> locations.
>>
>> When I export in WLMail format, (ie .eml's) then I am asked for an output
>> folder name and then I get to select which folders, and then the fast
>> moving progress bars do there stuff and I get everything dumped into the
>> folder I specified. I ran a before after snapshot of my drives and I can
>> see where the exported data is written down to the specific sector.
>>
>> When I export in Exchange format then as far as I can tell WLMail is not
>> writing anything, its reading its mail store but its not writing anything
>> according to the disk snap shots and looking at the file handles with
>> Process Explorer I can se anything that looks like file writes. and the
>> export to Exchange is quite a lost faster than the export to eml files -
>> because its not actually writing anything I suspect.
>>
>> I'll shake the rattle over at m.p.w.live.mail.desktop and see if one of
>> those guys knows what the story is with export to Exchange.
>>
>> Outlook as a browser : I think it's the word that worries some people -
>> browser. In the context of Outlook I see it as a transactor, whereas in
>> the context of the WordWeb applet I use - I see it as a finder. I
>> appreciate the attitudes of the corporate world, I was in it for long
>> enough - but I brike free, or rather they pensioned me off.
>>
>> On the issue of long downloads etc, when I say long I mean several hours
>> over a flaky satellite link with a single stream, believe me you don't
>> want to disturb the browser. Here in the city I have 20Mps to the
>> exchange about 600m distance, nothings a problem. If I do do long
>> downloads over the sat link and I just have to do some browsing then I
>> just use a different browser.

>>>> browser may not be running, which means I have to wait for it to load,
>>>> perhaps wait while it installs some extension updates, decide whether
>>>> or not I want to restore yesterdays session, by which time I've
