Saving Outlook Live Mail Archived Messages

Topic

New Reply

In days gone by I used Windows Live Mail and had two email accounts (let’s call them “123 at outlook.com” and “abc at  someISP.net”. Since I long since discontinued the “someISP.net” account I archived those msgs in Live Mail.

Then a while back I moved the “123 at outlook.com” to office.365, but kept the Live Mail working so I could occasionally access info in the old someISP emails.

Now I want to fully pull the plug on Live Mail but want to somehow keep all those old emails so I can occasionally access the info.

What’s a good way of doing this?

Thanks, but not sure what BBcodes are or how that could work for me.

Maybe I’m not being clear on what I want to do. Here a JPG shot of my Live Mail, showing my outlook emails that I now get using Office365, and the old emails that I have archived. I want to export? / save them somehow as maybe eml’s or txt’s or ?? so that I can occasionally search them for content.

Or is there a way to just export these archived emails to Office365. (The old email account is no longer active.)

Appreciate any help / advice.

May be worth having a look at MailStore. MailStore Home is free. It can archive e-mail accounts from Microsoft 365, Outlook, mailboxes via POP3 or IMAP and from e-mail clients such as Thunderbird and Windows Mail. MailStore – The Standard in Email Archiving
