Windows Live Mail???

In searching for something else, I read about "Windows Live Mail" which is
supposedly a replacement for both OE and "Windows Mail."

Is there any benefit to switching to it (aside from hotmail and photos,
neither of which interest me)?

Does it import accounts and mail rules? I have many rules which I have
worked very hard to organize.

Does it delete Windows Mail or can one switch back to Windows Mail after the
new download?

Does it store messages the same way Windows Mail does?

Just curious if I should experiment or leave well enough alone!

(I re-sent this question on microsoft.public.windows.live.mail.desktop in
case it was not appropriate for this group. Sorry if I've made a faux pas.)
