Question asked on Nov 4, 2016

After PC crashed, i was able to get my backup information, but not the programs.  When I searched and found the WLM program on MS site, it appeared that WLM would no longer be supported by Microsoft.  I went ahead and tried using WLM in a temporary PC. It loaded the emails, but i can not send or receive thru WLM.  

Microsoft suggested using Outlook 2016.  I have it, but don't know how to get the folder of WLM emails into Outlook 2016 on Windows 10 (OR to another email program).  I am also open to suggestions for a different email program --other than Outlook 2016. 

At the moment, I have a file on my PC holding all my emails and another with all my WLM contacts.  

Most of what I read, is regarding a different Windows version (not Windows 10) or it states to go into WLM in order to export the files elsewhere.  I just need to move the email files to another email program that works as well as WLM to organize emails, as I had many subcategories under each email address. 

Thank you.
