Tips and considerations

• Make sure you have enough disk space available on your computer to import the PST file.
• If your PST file is large, the import process may take some time to complete.
• Windows Live Mail may not import all items from your PST file, such as attachments or large emails. You may need to use a third-party tool to import these items.
• If you're importing a PST file from an older version of Outlook, you may need to use a third-party tool to convert the file to a format that Windows Live Mail can read.
