Can you replace windows live mail and migrate all data

A blast from the past! Windows Live Mail (WLM) was a popular email client, but it's no longer supported by Microsoft. However, I can guide you through the process of replacing WLM with a modern email client and migrating your data.

Recommended alternatives to Windows Live Mail:

  1. Microsoft Outlook: If you're already using other Microsoft services like Outlook.com or Office 365, you can use the Outlook desktop app as a replacement.
  2. Mozilla Thunderbird: A free, open-source email client that supports multiple email accounts and has a similar interface to WLM.
  3. Airmail: A popular, feature-rich email client for Windows and macOS.
  4. eM Client: A feature-rich email client that supports multiple email accounts and has a similar interface to WLM.

To migrate your data from WLM, you'll need to export your emails, contacts, and calendar events. Here's how:
