Copied everything into one LM directory to make the transfer easier, but as soon as I did that all the messages became unreadable.

If you copied rather than moved, aren't they still in the original places? If so, you could try again, with smaller bytes.

Unfortunately I moved them. One bright spot in the gloom. The Contacts list was still intact and it had automatically saved the address of everyone who ever sent me an email. Didn't want to risk copying it so I spent an hour this morning copying them by hand. Discovered 4 emails that I had moved individually before I did the big move and they were fine.

    My oldest daughter called while I was on the treadmill so I stopped and talked to her a while then finished the workout. The wife is going to pick up her mom to go shopping so it’ll be nice to get a little alone time. She’s not in the best mood today.

    I'm mad at myself today. I used Windows Live Mail until 2020 when they stopped supporting it, I still had hundreds of old emails there, including every vape order from 2014 through 2020. The process of copying from LM to Outlook seemed straightforward. Copied everything into one LM directory to make the transfer easier, but as soon as I did that all the messages became unreadable. I worked until 3 this morning trying to unscramble the mess but there's probably no fix. I found one comment on a software site saying that under Windows 10 LM doesn't have enough buffer space to handle large transfers between directories. Should have saved all the message files before I started.

    The old vape orders were just curiosity items. Also lost hundreds of old emails from friends in the UK and I don't even have their email addresses anymore. Then I could have restored the files and copied the messages a few at a time.
    Crap. I'm sorry.

    Enjoy your alone time.

    The wife just got home. I think we’re going to do leftovers for dinner. We had Chinese last night and have quite a bit left.

    I’m trying the succulent watermelon again and still can barely taste it. I think I’m going to dump the sft. Maybe it’s better in a recipe.

    Hopefully it is.
