You can save emails (individual messages) from Windows Live Mail to .eml format files. Use the drag-n-drop functionality.

To All (esp. Stephen): When you install Windows Live Mail on XP, the email client will automatically import the email account settings and messages from Outlook Express; at least this is what happened with me.

Many of my emails are work related and I need to save them to different files outside of my email box. With Outlook Express I was able to click on am email and save it in another location, I do not seem to be able to do this with Windows Live. Please can you tell me how I can get around this.

Dirk, your telkomsa.net email will work on the new operating system. However, since Outlook Express is missing from Windows 7, you would have to use Windows Live Mail. And FYI, the settings that you have used on Outlook Express will work on Windows Live Mail.

Yes you don't need a Windows Live Hotmail account to use Windows Live Mail program. To deactivate the spam filter, go to "Tools" -> "Safety Options". Under the "Options" tab, select No Automatic Filtering (the first option).

Can Windows Live Mail pick up the Outlook Express settings and also will it import the email that I already have in OE?

First, thank you!! Nowhere in all the Windows promotional jazz do they simply say what Windows Live Mail is. Just hype after hype! I assume now I can ignore the Windows Live account signup. Do I need to do anything about deactivating their spam filter if I put in my own? And how do I do that?

My email address, via telkomsa.net cannot be used on Windows 7. How do I retrieve the email from Outlook Express?
