can vs 14 be installed without overwriting vs 12

As per the subject line - is this possible. I'd like to look at the new
version before committing myself.

Thanks

I don't think so.

No.

One of version 14's WLMail(WLM) unique modification how Contacts are stored, different file type, synchronized, and integrated(with
Messenger v14).

Installing version 14 will replace version 12. In fact mix and match(WLM and WLMsgr) would also create issues since they share
that same Contact folder(I.e. upgrade one, its suggested to upgrade both)

Thanks Winston - a) will installing version 14 retain all my folder
structures and accounts and settings and b) what are the main changes?


Many thanks

The latest version imports everything from your previous version.
It has been very stable and dependable for me so far. Go for it.
