At last, check the status of the process by opening the Outlook application.<\/p>\n<p>Through the following steps, your WLM mail items exported successfully to Exchange. Now, you can easily download these emails in PST file format. After that, import the PSt file to Outlook by following the below steps:<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Steps to Import PST to Outlook:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>Start the Outlook application first.<\/li>\n<li>Now, navigate to the<strong> File menu &gt;&gt; Open &amp; Export &gt;&gt; Import\/Export.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Now, a wizard will appear, choose <strong>the Import from another program or file<\/strong> option and press it.<\/li>\n<li>A new window appears, hit on <strong>Outlook Data File (.pst<\/strong>). Then press the <strong>Next <\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Now, visit the <strong>Import Outlook Data File<\/strong> window and look for the PST files to be imported.<\/li>\n<li>If the PST file is protected through a password then type the password and hit on <strong>OK<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>For saving the imported files, choose the folder.<\/li>\n<li>Hit on the finish button to start the Import process.<\/li>\n<li>The exported PST files appear on the left panel. Then create a new folder and drag and drop those files into it.<\/li>\n<li>Hence, all the PST files now imported into Outlook successfully.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><strong>Method 2: Using the Windows Live Mail File Path<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You can also move WLM files from the system\u2019s path. Generally, WLM files are stored in EML formats. If you want to shift those files into another system then it can be done by configuring Outlook client in the new PC. You have to just drag and drop all the EML files to the newly created folder in the Outlook email client. Follow the stepwise procedure through the below steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Find the WLM files in your PC by visiting the below path:<\/li>\n<li><strong>C:\\Users\\[Username]\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\Windows Live Mail<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Now, copy all the files to a storage device.<\/li>\n<li>Then connect that storage device with the new PC where you want to transfer the files.<\/li>\n<li>Now, start the Outlook application and create a new folder(WLM).<\/li>\n<li>At last, drag and drop those WLM files to this WML folder.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>These manual methods consume a lot of time and may become complex ahead. As we all know that Windows Live Mail store the files in EML format and Outlook store in PST format, so it is better to use a direct utility to convert Windows Live Mail to Outlook. Therefore, you can use <strong>EML Converter <\/strong>for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-next-tech.com\/review\/backup-of-office-365-mailbox-into-pst-file\/\">transferring all your EML files into PST file format quickly<\/a>.
