Where does windows live mail store emails windows 10

Windows Live Mail, which is a legacy email client, stores emails in a specific location on your Windows 10 system. Here are the default locations where Windows Live Mail stores emails:

  1. Local Folders: Windows Live Mail stores emails in the following locations:
    • %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\Local Folders (for Windows XP, Vista, and 7)
    • %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\Local Folders (for Windows 8 and 10)
  2. Server-Based Folders: If you're using a POP3 or IMAP account, Windows Live Mail stores emails on the server. The location of these emails depends on the email provider and the type of account you're using.
  3. Deleted Items: Windows Live Mail stores deleted emails in the following location:
    • %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\Deleted Items (for Windows XP, Vista, and 7)
    • %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\Deleted Items (for Windows 8 and 10)

Note that these locations are specific to the user account you're using to access Windows Live Mail. If you have multiple user accounts on your system, each account will have its own set of email storage locations.

Keep in mind that Windows Live Mail is no longer supported by Microsoft, and it's recommended to use a more modern email client like Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird.
