old emails

[TLM]

OK so I can now send and receive emails but i have one more issue. I had
windows mail set up on my old hard drive (which i still have). Is there any
way to get my old messages from my old hard drive to the windows mail on my
new hard drive b/c when they were transfered to windows mail the first time
they were all deleted from my live account but are still sitting in windows
live on other hard drive.

If you can connect the old hard drive to your current computer, simply
navigate to the Windows Mail store folders and drag and drop the messages
(.EML files) into Windows Mail.

Or copy the entire message store directory from the old computer to a
subdirectory under Documents (to make sure that there aren't permissions
issues) and then use File | Import | Messages and point to that directory.

By default Windows Mail keeps the message files in the following directory:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail\...
You can have Windows Mail import from that directory on your old hard drive.
