Hi MEB,
I'm hoping that I understand the question correctly, please let me know if
not. When you accessed this account in Outlook Express, did you save
messages on the server? If so, then those mails will still be located in
your Hotmail folder, provided there isn't inactivity >90 days.
If you didn't save them on the server, then these mails will be located in
your Outlook Express mail data file. This is what will be migrated if you
install WLM. This tool does work very well. That being said, Microsoft does
not make any implicit or explicit statements regarding the integrity of data
involved in that migration. As the owner of that data, you are solely
responsible for backing up your data and ensuring recoverability. The
Windows Live Hotmail service does not hold long term data backups of
accounts.
I also want to be clear that this doesn't have any affect on the Windows
Live Hotmail web interface, only accessing Hotmail through HTTP using DAV in
Outlook Express. I hope this helps to answer your concerns. If not, I'm
happy to continue to help.
