Hello,

I'm currently using the Windows Live Mail client and I wanted to export to Outlook 2013. I'm using windows 7 x64.

I used the "export mail => messages => exchange" in the menu, selected the folders and all is fine here. But when it starts exporting it get stuck on message # 677 of 1775. It keeps in the same progress does nothing and I can't cancel. 

I tried exporting folder by folder but all of them get stuck too around 55%.

Does anyone have any ideas? Any tools like scanpst to try to fix any corrupted message that could be causing the problem?

Thank you!

Hi,

How did you export from Windows Live mail? what's the version of your Outlook?

You could follow these steps to move your Windows Live Mail directly into your Outlook mail files:

• Open Microsoft Outlook.
• Open Windows Live Mail.
• In the Windows Live Mail window, click the File button and select Exportand then select Email messages.
• Select Microsoft Exchange as the format and then click Next.
• You will see a message that all email will be exported to Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Exchange, click Ok to continue.
• You can export all email folders or select the appropriate folders that you want to export by using the Select folders option.
• After you select the appropriate option, click OK and wait for the export process to be completed.
• When the Export Completedialog box appears, click Finish.

Note:Exporting Windows Live Mail or Outlook Express mail to Outlook 2013 requires that Outlook 2013 be 32bit.

I don't think you read my post.

All your questions and steps are described on my first message, except for the 32bit part, which yes it is. So this is not the case.

The problem is not on outlook, but in windows live mail.

Thank you.

Hi,

I had read your post carefully.

You could try to export the folder to your local hard disk then import to Outlook.

If it still persits, please consult to Windows Live forum for more professional help:
