Thread: Import to WLM (Win 7) from Windows Mail in microsoft.public.windows.live.mail.desktop

Started 1 month, 1 week ago by TerryD
Having been happy with Outlook Express and then reluctantly Windows Mail, I was a bit disappointed to see that WLM was the option for Win 7 (which I do like).

The original "imported folder" is ...
