    What steps do I need to take to "port" over Windows Mail from x64 Vista to x 64 Win7...?

    Any help & advice appreciated

    Ok, I think I know what this is.................and is related to the email server.
    It is call ALIASES.
    I have my own multidomain mail server sitting at home 24/7.
    To get mail you need to go to the post office using POP or IMAP. Depending how the mail server is set up (authenticatio or not) you must log in with a valid account (aliases ARE not account for logging in).
    If the account in the mail server was created as ABC@doamin.com ONLY ABC can log on to download mail and if that account had ABC2 and ABC3 as aliases then you would pull those emails (if there were any for those 2 at the time you log in) and then that is it.
    Sending is a different deal since SMPT is older than POP or IMAP so you can put on "respond to" the ABC2 or ABC3 alias BUT if authentication was set up in the mail server YOU WILL HAVE TO log in as ABC@domain.com.

    Not sure if you get what I mean here but I cannot see how you would otherwise do it.
