Before you start to migrate Windows Live Mail to Office 365, you need to know where your Windows Live Mail stores its data. Usually, emails are saved as .EML files in this folder:

C:\Users\[Your Name]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail

Once located, copy the entire folder to a safe location. These EML files can then be directly imported into various tools for conversion or migration. Preparing your files like this ensures that you don’t lose emails during the transfer and makes it easier for tools to process them in bulk. Always make a backup copy before starting any migration process to avoid accidental data loss.
