Hi, Tom.
It's fairly easy to backup all your emails. Here's how you do it. First,
set up a folder off My Documents. Give it a name, like "Windows Live Mail
Emails." Then, go into Windows Live Mail. Click file, export, messages,
Microsoft Windows Live Mail, and next. Click browse and find the folder you
just created. Click on the folder and click OK. Click next. Choose to
backup all folders (which is my preferred method) or selected folders. Click
next. That's all you do.
