How can I take backup of my mail of windows live mail (As I was using back up of outlook exp in win xp by taking backup of *.dbx files) on my hard disk. Even backup of storage folders too.
please reply.

For example, I use Windows Live Mail and I have a hard time knowing whether my emails and/or storage folders are kept on my hard drive, "on the services", or both. Is there an easy way to determine this?
I'm helping out a family member. She is using Windows Live Mail and likely didn't shut it down correctly, resulting in the index blowing out. She managed to recover all her stored emails in the Storage Folders a time or two, but this last time they didn't come back.
What I have done so far:
Run a repair on Windows Live Mail.
Rebooted.
Uninstalled Windows Live Mail and reinstalled.
Attempted to restore
Attempted to import
I can find .eml files that appear to be the missing emails in storage folders (there are 3 file sets for storage folders, one I'm assuming for each time she failed to shut down properly.)
What I can't seem to do is import those emails back into Windows Live Mail.
The message I get is that there are either no emails to import or the files are in use by another program.
Yet, I know they are there, I can see the .eml files when I run a search of the hdd.
Help please?
(She's on Windows 7 Home Premium.)
thanks!
I'm using Windows Vista with Windows Live Mail for desktop, Version 2011 (Build 15.4.3555.0308).
I noticed yesterday that all the storage folders (I had about 10 or 15) I created have disappeared. When I delved deeper I saw that they have all been moved into folders buried under the "Recovered Items" folder. Two folders appeared to have been created on 20th May this year (the folders have the date as the name) and all my missing folders are under here (with a few levels of hierarchy in between)
Why has this happened and how do I recover all the lost folders and emails?
I know I could re-create the folders manually and manually copy all the messages across, but this will take a while and should NOT be necessary.
Is there a quick (or slightly quicker) fix?
I read somewhere that I should compact the messages (go to Options/Mail/Advanced/Maintenance/ Compact messages after every 1 (not the default of 100) runs. I did that but it made no difference.
Can someone help please? Thanks.
unable to store additional folders in `storage folders`, go through the normal procedure i/e copy or move. OK but they do not appear under the `storage folder column ? This is using M.S. Live mail programme.

I can't find my storage folders after staples backed up my failed harddrive on my other computer to my new hp computer.
Talked with them and they only backed up my comcast supplier not live mail files. Can I retrieve my storage files from microsoft live mail?
Thank you, Conna
I want to copy the storage folders from my old laptop into my new laptop. I have the Windows Live E-mail accounts up and working.
