Downgrade the Windows Live Mail upgrade!

Some updates were automatically installed on my computer and that has changed Windows Live Mail, the program I use for email. I now have Windows Live Mail 2011 which I’ve came to know is a part of Windows Live Essentials. I just don’t like the upgraded Windows Live Mail program and prefer the old interface. I was thinking of uninstalling the program but that may also remove all stored email messages, right? What is the best way to downgrade Windows Live Mail to get back to the older version?

Unfortunately, the upgraded version of Windows Live Mail hasn’t been received well by Windows 7 users. And you can’t blame them. Firstly, the act of smuggling in the Essentials pack as a critical update was kind of cheeky. Secondly, the interface of the new Windows Live Mail 2011 is radically different from the older version. Just when Outlook Express and Windows Mail Vista users were adjusting to a new email client, out comes another one with a completely new layout. Anyway, here is how you can get rid of the Windows Live Mail upgrade and go back to the original version.
