I'll try and be as clear as I can about this, I've confused myself quite thoroughly.
My aunt is using Windows Live Mail 2011 to check a pop email address, she also HAD (read HAD) a local calendar with a significant amount of data.
I linked her application with a newly created Live account hoping to allow her to access her calendar on other devices. I think discovered that I'd incorrectly used a .net TLD instead of .com. I attempted to chance the alias, only to find an existing Live
account under her email address.
Thinking all was well I went about finishing setup, and then discovered her calendar information was gone.
Eventually I proved my theory correct, logged back in with the unverified (this will become important very shortly) incorrect .net tld account, and found her calendar. I found no way to export the calendar from inside the windows live mail application,
and did not find the calendar actually synced to the account online.
I then made what is now the larger mistake, I attempted to give that account a real alias so I could verify it in hopes I would then be able to sync and export from outlook.com. This of course broke the tenuous connection I'd created between her local
calendar and the incorrect .net account. I can't activate that alias without the ability to verify it, I can't find any documentation of where the Windows Live 2011 application actually stores it's calendar files and I'm just about out of my mind.
