Windows 10: Can I import my Windows Live Mail 2012 to Windows Mail, including all locally stored...

In short, my father-in-law used Windows Live Mail 2012 for the longest time. Recently, he upgraded to Windows 10, but somewhere along the line Windows 10 installed improperly and the computer needs to be reinstalled. However, as HP refuses to provide the Windows OEM Key so I can do the install manually, I am needing to do it another way. Regardless, the entire system requires a clean slate there's also other issues about the RAM registering at 130, 6500 and 3200 mhz, when it's simply 1600.


That being said, I have successfully exported his entire locally stored email account, which includes all the folders and emails, from Windows Live Mail 2012 to a folder on my PC. Before I do the refresh on his PC though, I wanted to ensure I can import those files directly to any other mail server Windows' Mail app or Outlook app, or any other app?. I have been unsuccessful importing this file which is about 13GB into either application.


These are the files that have been exported:

• wlmail.fol
• Each folder, which includes every email ending in an ".eml", and then a "wlmail.fol" file at the bottom of each folder.

How would I be able to, if possible, import all those files and folders from his entire Windows Live Mail 2012 locally stored backup to any other program on Windows 10?


Thanks in advance!

Windows Mail

Yes, Windows mail (on Vista) is almost identical to Windows Live Mail (which I use here at work on XP), and have multiple accounts set up.

Windows Live Mail has one of the best out-of-the-box spam detectors I have ever seen in an e-mail client, and of course, it's free.

The one thing I like about WLM over Windows Mail on Vista, is that WLM does not use popup box verification when you delete the entire junk mailbox (it does, however, on the deleted mailbox). If I hit the delete key for a whole mailbox, I mean it. Honestly, you don't have to ask me if I am sure about what I am doing.
