Changed email address and need to make WL mail use that email addr

I recently changed my email address with my ISP and need to completely purge
my current live mail of all traces of the old one. How do I go about doing
that? I have saved the old messages to a file in my documents. Now I need
to get Windows Live Mail to "forget" my old address.

Re: Changed email address and need to make WL mail use that email addr

In Tools, Accounts you can add the new mail account.

There you can also remove the old mail account. But if it's a POP3
account, the messages will be deleted. So if you want to keep them,
copy them to a storage folder or other mail account before deleting.

You could also change the existing account with the new values. Look on
the General and Servers tab.

For any news accounts, you'll also want to change the e-mail address in
them.
