My hard disk had to be replaced two days ago, and now I don't have Windows Live Mail - and have only just discovered that the programme has been discontinued by Microsoft.

I prefer to received my mail on my laptop, so will probably have to start using Outlook. My problem is that, for the past five years, I have saved many of my emails because I need to refer back to them quite often in my research - but now, without Windows Live Mail, I am unable to read them !!

I am desperate not to lose the information in the old emails - is there any other programme that will be able to open them ?

Help - please !!!
