Upgrading Windows Mail to Windows Live Mail

[Martemagne]

Can someone tell me how to do it?

 

[Dave]

Just install it.
It should import everything from WM.

 

[Gary VanderMolen]

Go to http://download.live.com/wlmail
Download the installer and run it.
When Windows Live Mail runs the first time, it will import all your Windows Mail data.

Hi Gary

Thanks to you and Dave for provifding responses.

I performed the install, but since I have Outlook Express installed as well
as WIndows Mail, it appears to have used the OE program to install based on,
rather than updating the WIndows Mail, or using it as the basis for the
install.

If I delete the OE program before installing, will it instead install based
on the Windows Mail program?

You can't be running OE and Windows Mail at the same time on the same
computer.
Windows Mail comes with Vista and will not run on XP.
Outlook Express will not install or work on Vista.
Windows Live Mail will work on both XP and on Vista.

Are you running a Vista computer or a WinXP computer?

If Vista, don't confuse Windows Mail with Windows Live Mail or Outlook
Express (which is not part of Vista).

If WinXP, you're posting in the wrong newsgroup.
