Essentials 2011 to 2012

I have made the upgrade from SBS Essentials 2011 to 2012.

I have kept the comain name the same and I have logged in ok.

I then logged in as local administrator on my PC and copied everything from my old account to my new account.

However a number of things don't appear to be correct and it is like having logged in as a new user. I thought that copying everything fro the old \user folder would bring over my previous settings?

My main problem appears to be with Windows Live Mail. The last time I saw this (on installing Essentials 2011) I found the email files and spent ages importing them to the new account, but it brought them all over as UNREAD.

Is there anything that I can do now that I have made the changes to the new account? This really is a pain.

Thanks in advance - Terry
