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. -------------------------------------------------- From: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Tuesday, December 08, 2009 6:21 PM To: <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: [PCBUILD] Vista Wont Boot > Isn't that a web-based email program?
