My old computer died and I had to purchase the new Windows 7 machine which
has Outlook 2007.
On my old machine I was using Microsoft Live email to download my emails
from POP3 servers (Gmail, Yahoo etc). But as the computer died before I could
run some sort of utility to migrate them to my new machine I am stuck with
the folders where these were stored.
I was able to retrieve the folders from the old machine where Microsoft Live
was storing my emails. Now how do I migrate them to Outlook so that I can see
them and read them in Outlook 2007.

Install Windows Live Mail on the new machine. Restore your WLM files to the
new version. Then in WLM do File-Export-Messages-Exchange to export them to
Outlook. (Yes I know it says Exchange but trust me!)
