Upgrade from Windows Live Mail

[Guest]

I have finally upgraded from Windows Live Mail to Outlook. WLM
was giving me problems and often hung up.

Outlook is doing fine. Is there any reason I should keep WLM?
Would un-installing it risk uninstalling some function that other
programs rely on? (Note I don't use messenger)

Programs are 2007 versions.

Suggestions comments???

Also is it possible to copy the messages from folders in WLM
to Outlook?

Outlook and WLM are 2 completely separate products. You can uninstall it if
you don't want it anymore. Personally I use WLM for newsgroup access.

You can use the Export function within WLM for that. For contacts and
calendar entries see;

Thanks for both answers. I use a third party news group
reader.

You're welcome!

The migration is successful and complete and I have
uninstalled WLM with no apparent problems.

Again, Thanks
