WL Mail 2011 to WLM 2009
I have an Acer laptop with Win7 Home Premium 64bit, just a few months old, and I downloaded Windows Essentials 2011, mainly for its Live Mail component. I have come to the conclusion that I simply cannot stay with this, and I want to remove/replace it.
I've read quite a bit on Google about alternatives - Thunderbird, Opera mail, Google mail, which all seem preferable to what I've got, but I've also seen many comments from Live Mail 2011 users who have gone back to the 2009 version because of its apparently better functionality and options, plus a pretty consistent grouse about the new ribbon features in 2011. So, I fancy giving it a try.
I've read that I would need to remove WL Essentials first in Add/Remove, and also manually delete Windows Live folder from C:\Program Files, before installing 2009. My biggest worry - given how many problems I had setting up Live Mail from OE accounts - is, can I be sure that, having deleted WLM 2011, all my email accounts, mails, and contacts will, nevertheless, be available in WLM 2009 when I install it?
