Windows Live Mail Import Problem after Clean Install

Anonymous

After I did the clean install etc. and got the windows live mail ready to import my email messages from my zip stick or whatever it is called.  I messed up and received email from my ISP.  Can I import my old emails now, or should I remove the emails from the ISP?   I do not want to mess anything up.

I want my OLD emails but I also want the new emails, can I do it?    Is there another free email program that MS offers?  If so will I be able to import my WLM emails to it?

Thanks!        CarrmasDad2

    Like I posted before

    After I did the clean install etc. and got the windows live mail ready to import my email messages from my zip stick or whatever it is called.  I used the same link that you supplied from a previous thread.   I messed up and received email from my ISP.  Can I import my old emails now, or should I remove the emails from the ISP?   I do not want to mess anything up.

    I want my OLD emails but I also want the new emails, can I do it?    Is there another free email program that MS offers?  If so will I be able to import my WLM emails to it?

    My computer has Windows 7, I did a clean install, Not a clean repair. 

       Please refer to my previous posts.    I do not know of any way that I can describe the problem better.   Like I have posted I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program several time, NO LUCK    Thanks   CarrmasDad2

    I am getting confused.  I suggest you start again with a complete description of your system, all the problems you have experienced, what you have done (exactly) and what the results were (exactly).  I know this is a long and involved task, but I cannot help you until I can get a complete picture.

    I am using the link below. 

    Windows Live Mail is no longer supported by Microsoft.  Not such a bad thing because that also means they are less likely to mess it up.  For your own security, you should download a copy of the program and store it in your backup drive in case you need to re-install for some reason: http://web.archive.org/web/20170112124505/http://wl.dlservice.microsoft.com/download/C/1/B/C1BA42D6-6A50-4A4A-90E5-FA9347E9360C/en/wlsetup-all.exe

    Re: my previous post,  do you have any suggestions!  

    I have removed and reinstalled the program several times using the link you sent me.

    Please tell me what email program you use and give me advice on a email program that you have knowledge about!

    I appreciate you!!   CarrmasDad2
