Transfering Messages from Windows Live Mail to Outlook

[Christopher Kozely]

I have a customer who is using Windows Live Mail (WLM).
He has 142 441 files that take 13.3Gb.
He keeps on loosing contacts everytime he quits WLM. In addition, He uses
the signature feature to preprogram replies to his emails. With WLM when you
reply, they all disappear and only the default signature remains. Finally,
everytime he starts WLM, it is very slow because it scans his 142 441 files
all the time.
So I recommended to use Outlook. However, it is limited to 2Gb when we try
to import data from WLM.
Can you recommend a solution?

In WLM export to Exchange(Outlook)
Outlook must be configured on the same PC
There is no data file size limitation in outlook 2003 or later using the
default unicode data file format

Thank you for your reply.

The transfert is done on the same PC. We are trying to transfer to Outlook
2007 using default parameters. Is this the unicode data file format? We get a
..pst data file.

Based on the information above, we confirm that this pst file is limited to
2Gb.
We tried transfering all messages and each folder separately. The result is
the same.
It stops at 2Gb and we have no control over this.

Outlook 2007 (12.0.6514.5000) SP2 MSO (12.0.6425.1000)
