Question asked on Jan 11, 2016
I had a Windows7 PC with Windows Live Mail.  Unfortunately this PC died and I purchased a Windows10 PC.   I have not been able to figure out how to make the email that came with this version work correctly (it could just be me the user).   So I installed Windows Live Mail 2012.   This is working however I was wondering if there was a way to get all my email folders (from the last 6 years) and contacts on my new PC.    If these files were stored on the hard drive, please let me know what the path/file names are because I can have someone retrieve the data from my old hard drive.    Also is there a way to back up the contacts I have started adding on the new PC with Windows Live Mail 2012?
