Update. I am able to see the Windows Live Mail folders now. The reason I
had trouble seeing them originally is because the server name I gave for my
ISP email (Microsoft Mail Server) appears garbled in Windows Explorer, and
does not read exactly as "Microsoft Mail Server" as it does in the folder
list within Windows Live Mail. Will this cause problems during an email
import after a hard drive format?
