relocate email folder on a new install and current Vista Windows Mail emails

I want to relocate my current emails, et. al. from my current Vista Windows
Mail to a folder in My Documents running under Windows Live Mail Desktop. I
know I can relocate the folder under the Maintenance tab, but when should I
do this in the install process and will it transfer my current emails to the
new location when I restart WLM? I have not installed WLM yet.

Thanks,

Larry

Re: relocate email folder on a new install and current Vista Windows Mail emails

When you install WLM, it should copy all of your WM messages over to it's
default storage location...
C:\Users\(youraccount)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail

Then you could change the storage location... but not to "My Documents",
that's a junction point, not a folder.
