My dad moved from Windows XP to Windows 8. Disaster. One thing Windows 8 doesn't seem to support is getting your old email (Outlook Express, from POP3) into your new mail program. Apparently, Windows users don't keep their email?

What I did to transfer his mail is the following.
I made a copy of the OutlookExpress mail file and put it on my computer. Evolution allows me to import it into a new mail box. Then I created an account on my dad's IMAP mail, and copied the mail from the import mailbox to his Inbox. Simple as that. Why can't Microsoft think of a way to keep your old email?
