    Best way to move files from Windows Live Mail (client) between PCs?


    Hi Everyone,

    I am running Windows 7 Ultimate (x64) and for my personal emails (two accounts, one Hotmail account, and one Yandex account) I am using the Windows Live Mail (Desktop Client).



    I now need to invest in a new computer, this one (once again) will also be using Windows 7 (x64), and I am looking for the most efficient way of moving my email files. The last thing that I want to do is find myself having to download all of my emails again (close to 10 Gigs of data!).

    Can I simply copy and paste all of the files from 'Store Folder' as shown below?



    Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

    Kind Regards,

    Davo
