In the past, I could export all my email in various folders.  Now, it will only export one email.

I am using Windows Live Mail Build 16.4.3528.0331 and Windows 8.1 and Internet Explorer 11.  I have installed all the Windows 8.1 updates.

I uninstalled McAfee.

I uninstalled Windows Live Mail with the following command:
c:program files (x86)windows liveinstallerwlarp.exe" /cleanup:all /q

I reinstalled Windows Live Mail from Microsoft's web site.

I created a new administrative user in Windows 8.1.  I started email and did not setup any email accounts.  I typed three draft emails and saved them in the storage folders drafts folder.  When I try to export all the folders, only one mail gets exported.

I performed a clean boot of Windows:

I disconnected from the wireless network.

Here's how I do an export:
For a successful export, follow these guidelines:
1.Set Windows Live Mail to Work offline¹ before starting.
2.Create a temporary folder on your desktop² to contain the exported messages.
3.In the Export wizard, select the temporary folder and select All folders ³.
4.When it's finished, check that the number of files in each folder within the temporary folder is one more than the number of messages in the corresponding folder in Windows Live Mail.
5.Copy the temporary folder to its final destination

In Windows Live Mail when I click on Working Online on the status bar, it changes to Working Offline.  Then I click on File, Export Email.  But when I click on Email Messages, the status bar changes to Working Online.

How can I get it to export all my email?
