Hi

Before installing windows 8, my computer had windows 7. I used windows live mail. Now I just installed windows 8 RP. I would like to know if there is an easy way of importing my email into the new mail application.

Thanks.

If you overwrote Win 7 then you might have a folder called windows.old in the C Drive. This folder contains the old OS. There should be a folder called Windows Live Mail. These are your mail messages. Install WLM in Win 8 RP then copy and replace the folder in your new WLM installation. That should replace your Win 8 RP WLM folder with the original WLM folder. If you do not have a windows.old folder, you might be out of luck.

Hi Coldren, welcome!

Have you tried to login your mail app by your windows live mail? If your emails are stored in windows live server, you dont need to import to mail app. Just login your mail app by windows live account, you can see all emails are synchronized.

If I misunderstood, try the method as Ted said.

Thank you. I logged to mail app by windows live mail. Yes, all emails are there. I am sorry. I did such a mistake. Thanks to Ted, too.

Glad your problem is solved. It would not have helped me as I delete emails on the server when I download them. Oh well, thanks for letting us know.
