Having updated to Windows 10 and noting the new Windows Outlook Mail does not have a folder feature yet or a facility to transfer folders from Windows Live Mail ,I wish to install the latest Windows Live Mail 2012.

Currently I am running WLM 2009 because I like the ribbon, but having experienced  numerous issues with the Windows 10 install I would like to upgrade to the latest version of WLM 2012 which I believe is compatible with 10.

However I have numerous historic folders on subjects I wish to keep and worried that if I upgrade to WLM 2012 they will be lost.

I would also like clarification on what relationship WLM , Windows Outlook Mail,  Windows Outlook.com, Office Outlook, have in common.  Also what account settings should be applied to WLM 2012 eg Pop, HTTP, IMAP.

When I add a Hotmail e mail address to WLM2009 it automatically sets the server to http://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v2.0.0/sync.aspx

My latest problem with WLM2009 has been the frequent refusal to send/receive e mails and when I reconfigured the account in an attempt to correct the issue(same server details) I now cannot store "sent" or "deleted" messages.  It is configured to save "sent" messages.

Help please Microsoft
