How To Export Emails and Contacts with Windows Live Mail?

Windows Live Mail may require re-installation or hardware switching at any point of time. So, it's always great to export all the data and re-import the same to ensure no important emails or data gets deleted or lost. This task is known as backup and restore.

Adding email accounts to Windows Live Mail will lead to automatic saving of messages and syncing when the account is re-added. So, if wondering how to import and export contacts, emails and calendars with Windows Live Mail, here is a simple process.

Some things to remember:

• When exporting mail, begin by creating a new folder in your preferred location, as this is where the messages will be exported.
• Backing up calendar items is not allowed, but signing with a Windows Live ID can help with calendar syncing.
• Signing in with Windows Live ID will lead to automatic syncing of contacts; not signing will require manually undertaking the same.
• With a POP3 account, see into the Advanced tab to confirm if messages have been deleted from the server. If planning to remove this account, you must manually export and re-import the messages.
