Question about Outlook Express

Hi,

I am migrating from one XP machine to a new 8.1 machine. I have installed Live Mail via Essentials using my Microsoft account (administrator). Then set-up both my wife's and my email addresses as POP and it works fine within my account.

Have now set-up a local account for my wife to get into windows 8.1 .... when she opens the Windows Live Mail application there are no email accounts visible.

Question 1 - Can I set-up Live mail once with both accounts so that 2 different 8.1 users can use it or do I have to set-up each POP account in our respective 'views' of the Live Mail application.

Depending on the answer to question one ......

I then need to move all the old Outlook Express emails to the new machine ........ our Outlook Express has one inbox with a mixture of messages from both our email addresses. Some is filed separately in folders but a lot isn't. I am happy about finding the OE6 databases and moving them but ....

Question 2 - If I import into Live mail on the new machine and do this under my Microsoft account (administrator) will I end up with a storage folder of old messages that only I can see ? i.e. when my wife logs in on her local account in 8.1 and opens live mail will she see the storage folder ?

Depending on the answer to question 2 ....

Question 3 - Could I import the old OE6 data twice i.e. once from within my 8.1 account and then again from within my wife's 8.1 account ?

I am finding this migration from XP much harder than envisaged as we only ever used one PC logon before.

Forums are a big help though, thanks
