WLM Log-in Information Transfer

I have a number of e-mail accounts on WLM and i have just bought a new
laptop, and i can't remember all accounts and their passwords. Are they
stored on a file or folder which i can copy to the new laptop? Are there any
programs that can do it automatically?

Thanks,
Tina

Try using the free version of Static WLM Backup to create a backup of your
WLM messages and settings from your old pc. Then do a restore to your new
pc. This will copy and restore all of your settings, passwords, and emails
to the new pc. You can get it here:

Re: WLM Log-in Information Transfer

Greetings,

Another way (just to provide another option) is to use a tool which shows you the passwords.
Nirsoft has some nice ones for this purpose:

You can then manually transfer over your emoticons and so on (if that's a concern for you).
