In this section, we will describe a complete step-by-step method to transfer contacts from Windows Live Mail to another computer. It grants the users to transfer few WLM contacts. If you are planning to migrate unlimited contacts, then upgrade the license keys. Now, after launching the software, you will see a Welcome screen.
Click on the Next button to proceed. So, accordingly, choose a desired WLM Contacts folder to proceed with the transfer process. Scroll down and choose the one which suits your needs. Now, navigate to the Filter Options. This feature is exclusively meant for selective transfer of Windows Live Mail contacts to new computer.
Thereafter, Browse for Folder in the Destination Path option. This marks the end of the transfer of WLM contacts to another computer.
After this entire task comes to an end, a pop-up message displays on your screen. Click on the OK button to exit. The DBStore folders containing contacts are marked as hidden system files.
The path you quote shows that you were in fact using the default contacts list - that's where the name comes from. You may be better off using another of Nirsoft's utilities to extract the contact information from the database: ESEDatabaseView. Please promise me that you will institute an effective backup scheme when you have your new operating system up and running. Many thanks. This thread is locked.

I have the same question Report abuse. Details required :. Cancel Submit.

Hi, thanks for your reply. If I'm reading you correctly you are saying tha the configuration settings are stored locally which contain email settings port settings account names etc So, what about the mail store itself?
Is it stored, in its entirety, on the local machine I wiped my Win7 RC in favour of playing with some linux distro's as an alternative to windows I'll reload win7 in the morning and try it out.. Thank you gentlemen for your assistance. If you hadn't provided the responses you did, then sooner or l8r I would have been back to ask the questions you answered hehe. Follow that? Thanks again.

Quite possibly, they will only work if you put those back in exactly the right place. On the other hand, a CSV file containing all of the contact data is something that you could use pretty much anywhere. So, for a more generic way to save your contacts, I strongly recommend the export model rather than try to find the specific data files. Back to — Answercast Subscribe to Confident Computing!
