Windows Live Mail Storage Folders

Question

 

I had a previous install of Windows Live Mail and had my HD crash on me and now I need to see if there’s a way to get my old storage folders from my recovered data.  Is there a specific file I can import into my new copy of WLM that would house the information stored in my old storage folders?  I had quite a lot of archived mail and would like to gain access.  Can anyone help me?  Thanks.

ChelleWSU,

I see you've been waiting several days for a reply. You may already have discovered this on your own, but there is a forum specifically for Windows Live Mail.

And you are not alone in trying to recover WLM data. Have a look at these two threads on the forum and join us. Three of us are having big trouble restoring email, etc (and there may be more), after backing up WLM mail with Carbonite software, and trying to restore the email, etc. So our situation is kind of the same as yours.
