How to import Windows Live Mail to Outlook

Ok, manual importing is not an option. You would waste days if not weeks trying to import Windows Live Mail messages and attachments to Outlook. However, many automatic EML conversion tools tend to corrupt messages and encodings, lose attachments, or are simply too slow and unreliable to entrust them your business and personal correspondence. So, it seems that automated tools aren’t a perfect way to complete this task either. Or are they?

That was so. Until now.

Windows Live Mail to Outlook Converter automatically finds the location of your WLM folder, scans it for mailboxes and offers a simple and efficient Wizard-like mechanism to convert the entire volume of messages from the outdated email client to the version of Microsoft Outlook you prefer. The tool is so straightforward, that you can just run it and shortly end up with all your emails safely transferred to Outlook. No email format learning, no reading through dozens of conversion guides, no need to be a tech savvy.

You run the Windows Mail converting tool – it does the job.

Here is how to export Windows Live Mail to Outlook

The tool is really simple. You literally need to click three times to convert Windows Mail messages to Outlook:

  1. Browse for the source folder containing EML email files. Note that the tool locates the default Live Mail folder automatically if the Live Mail is configured on the same PC. The EML format is the format of Windows Live Mail files. A EML file contains the message itself plus information about the sender, recipient, and some other data.
  2. Scan the folder for EML files. Click the button to locate all the email files containing your messages in the folder.
  3. Click “Save” to save the emails to Outlook. Note that you can select between two modes: export Windows Live Mail to Outlook 2021, 2019, 2016, 2013, 2010, 2007 directly, or save as a PST file that you can later import manually.

See? We told you! Live Mail to Outlook Converter is indeed simple. But there are also other advantages. And some of them are literally game changing! Read along.

I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to convert my emails from the old Live Mail application to Outlook that I needed for work. In fact, I was going to pay somebody to get the job done. Imagine my surprise when I managed to do it all on my own! Amazing tool – really helpful and a money-saver, too.

My Live Mail to Outlook conversion was a breeze! It took the program a couple of minutes to move over 2000 of my emails to a PST file that I copied to a USB stick and easily loaded to Microsoft Outlook on a different system. Excellent, A+ software.
