I've just received notification from Microsoft that they will no longer support Windows Live Mail 2011 but  if you have Windows Live Essentials 2012 you can continue to use it if you install the latest update which they publish. As I'd like to continue using Windows Live Mail (whatever version) wouldn't it be possible to upgrade WLM 2011 to WLM 2012 and then just install the latest update over that? Would my data and configurations be saved as is?  

Thank you,
