    Import-Export messages

    Just curious : I can import messages from WM to WLM. Why is it I cannot
    EXPORT messages from WM to WLM ? When I clicked Export on WM, the window did
    not show WLM, just MS Exchange and MS Windows Mail. Thank you.

    That's because WLM is newer than WM. WM has no knowledge that WLM
    exists, so it wouldn't know how to export to it.

    Two of the methods possible for moving messages from Window Mail to Windows Live Mail are:
    a. Export in WM to MS Windows Mail, import in WLM choosing Windows Mail
    b. Drag and drop

    Is there any advantage to doing it that (a) way as opposed to a
    direct import from WLM without first doing an export from WM?
