Question asked on Sep 26, 2016

These are the steps I take having on a new computer:  

  1.  installed Outlook 365 and 2012 version of WLM downloaded from Microsoft on the same windows 10  computer.
  2. I was able to import the WLM Email from another computer to the WLM on the new computer.
  3. Opened Outlook.
  4. Opened up  WLM and use File-> Export-> Messages… to export the messages to Outlook.
    • In the latest version of Windows Live Mail, choose:
      File-> Export email-> Email messages
  5. When prompted to select the format you want to export email to, I choose: Microsoft Exchange
  6. confirmed the information dialog about exporting to  Microsoft Exchange.
  7. The problem is I never get a dialog box to Select which folder(s) you would like to export to Outlook.

Appreciate any assistance,

Ray Evans
