Hi vandervoor,
No, its not a web based email programme, its called windows mail and came 
with my laptop running vista. I tried to use the import messages feature on 
a later laptop using windows live mail on windows 7.
I just cannot find where the email messages are. I have put the hard drive 
into a usb dock and can see hundreds of entries but I don't know what the 
email messages would be called. If I knew the likely name I could perhaps 
use the "search for files" facility.
John.
