Thanks for every one who replied.
When I mentioned "It was imposed on me" meaning I had to download
win7 updates and I did not exclude Windows Live essential, I got stuck
with the new Windows live mail 2011.
The program is pretty nifty and very new to me with lots of commands..
and failures.. and crashes... I am trying to cope with it under NOT above the circumstances..
However, I have the old WLM 2009 file ready to install, my only concern is that I have tons of email contacts... I tried looking all over the place to learn how I could export contacts to a Dirctory on the HDD so I found a way and I did save them ,another concern is
would they work if I imported them back to the WLM 2009 and how?
Email file was saved 1) in .cvs form and another in .vcf form.
What's the method of importing them to the old WLM?
Thanks again
Fred
