As soon as you want to switch from IncrediMail to another email program, you discover a good reason to switch that is at the same time a reason not to switch: IncrediMail does not offer you to export mail to a common format that would allow you to import your precious messages to the new email client.Export Mail from IncrediMail Using IncrediConvert
IncrediConvert is free, but it may not work with every version of IncrediMail.
To import mail from IncrediMail in another email program with IncrediConvert:
- Create a backup of your IncrediMail data.
- Launch IncrediConvert.
IncrediConvert automatically selects your default IncrediMail Identity and all folders except Deleted Items.
- To convert mail from another identity, select its path under IncrediMail\Data\Identities in the folder tree on the left.
- Make sure you deselect all empty folders. When trying to export messages from empty folders, IncrediConvert can stall.
- Click the Export toolbar button.
- Highlight Desktop under Select output folder..
- Click Create new folder.
- Type "exported mail".
- Hit Return.
- Click OK.
- Click Open folder.
For every folder inside exported mail:
- Open the folder by double-clicking it.
- Press Ctrl-A to select all .eml files.
(Make sure you drop the .eml files on the folder in Outlook Express (with Outlook Express open), not the folder in Windows Explorer where Outlook Express keeps mail on your hard disk.) These steps can be followed for IncrediMail installed in Windows XP, 2000, 98 etc
