How to import mails from OLD version of eM Clent to NEW version ?

When I try importing Mails from System 1 with bersion 7.2.36465.0 to the NEW system with version 7.2.36694.0, the error msg is either the mails are not available OR you are trying to import from an OLD version of eM Client. Need a solutionj.

To move your eM Client database from one computer to another, use Menu > File > Backup on the old computer, then copy the zip file to the new computer and use Menu > File > Restore. You will also need to deactivate your license on the old computer using Menu > Help > License before activating it on the new one.

When I follow your instructions, I get this System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path ‘Icon.exe’ is denied.   at System.IO.Directory.DeleteHelper(String fullPath, String userPath, Boolean recursive, Boolean throwOnTopLevelDirectoryNotFound, WIN32_FIND_DATA& data)
   at System.IO.Directory.Delete(String fullPath, String userPath, Boolean recursive, Boolean checkHost)

You can try it manually.

With eM Client closed , copy the C:\Users_yourusername_\AppData\Roaming\eM Client\ folder from your old computer to your new one. 

After copying pl inform what to do ? Treat me as a new comer to the laptop !!!
Explain step by step.

That is all. Once you have copied the database from one computer to the other, all the data from the old computer will be on the new computer.

The location is VERY specific. If you do not select the correct source directory, there will not be any data. If you do not copy it to the correct destination directory, there will not be any data when you restart eM Client.

The error you posted above, was that during the backup or the restore?

During rwstore

During restore

So forget the Menu > File > Restore. Just copy the directory from one computer to the new one, making sure you have it in the correct location on the destination. Then when you restart eM Client, everything form the old computer will appear in the new installation.
