I have a similar question (unfortunately don't see where to ask a new question, so please re-direct me if need be.) 

I am trying to export (or backup) my email messages that are in the storage folders of windows live mail from an old computer with Win Vista live mail to a new one using Win 8.1 live mail.  I tried the directions in the link provided.  I created a new folder on a flash drive as directed and selected (highlighted) a few storage folders to export.  It immediately said it was completed.  I plugged that into the new computer and imported per directions.  The folders appeared as they were supposed to, but inside each folder was only one random email--all others were missing.  I cked the flash drive to see if there was a problem and it also contained the same.  While it's nice to have the folders, it's rather useless without the messages inside.  I've tried the steps about 3 times selecting different folders and even tried highlighting all the files within the folder with the same results. 

I'd definitely appreciate help with this.
