Import email account W10

I backup email accounts as *.iaf archives.

I try to import account and it says:

Error, the import is not finished .

???

What is the problem???

Are you sure that you exported and imported correcty? Iaf file sould be exorted and imported from accounts menu.
If you fell its complex, you can always create accounts manually

I did many times in XP and never have problems.

I díd correct. Why dos not Work?

Enter manually is lot of Work. I have lot of acounts.

Not works, sure. I done all ok.

Any idea to solve???

you can create accounts manually, it would be the faster way in your case

If there are no other way I will do but I have near 20 accounts

There is another way,
Run registry editor (regedit) and navigate to key:

Quote:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Account Manager\Accounts

Right click on "Accounts" Key and click "Export"
Save the exported reg file and import it on new computer (double click on it).

Export worked on XPproSP3x86, but import did not on w7u64b, all accounts imported, but none show up in OE, what could it be?

maby accounts were on other identities. try importing using iaf account files

How do you mean 'other identities'?
How could one create the same 'identity'?
(I left mine in both cases to the default, ie 'main identity'.)

When importing iaf files, some worked, others did not.
Even tried after recreating them in the old OE, but it did not help for all, only some (how come?).
Oddly, they change in size when recreated.
Also, it seems that the OE version you offer says 5.0, but many files are nearly the latest update (from which the iaf are exported).

Have you always been able to export and import all of them without problems?
