My notebook's HDD was found down last weekend and the technican replaced a new HDD and the Windows 7 was re-loaded.

The new HDD loaded with Windows Live Mail 2012 and received e-mails from server.

The latest back up for my old HDD was mid of July with the folder copied from : user/UserName/AppData/LocalMicrosoft/Windows Live Mail, and Windows Live Mail version was 2011.

How to intergate the two sets of mails in my new Windows Live Mail, i.e. the back-up mails in mid of July and the mails just received ?

How to get the contacts from my backup, was it also in the folder I copied ?

Is it the right way to back up the mails by copying from the above mentioned folder ?

Thanks,
