How to backup Folders and Messages in Windows Live Mail: Can we have a sticky please?

I know I am not alone on this and how to do it, but this group needs to have
periodic re-posts on how to back-up folders and messeges in Windows Live
Mail. I don't know how to do this. I am in the process of trying to backup
files on my sisters partially corrupt Vista OS but I don't know how to
backup the messages and folders. With Outlook Express, all you had to do is
create one STORE folder anywhere and then you would back that folder up onto
USB, CD, DVD, whatever. Very simple, efficient, and quick.

In addition, I would like to see some information in this group on what if
any impact there is in using Windows Live Mail will have on your hotmail
account.

Thanks

If you want to back up all aspects of Windows Live Mail, including
account settings, rules, etc. use this free third party utility:
