Hello everyone,

So here's the thing, I followed a tip to repair Windows Live Mail, so I went to Programs and Features, then to uninstall, and there I was supposed to find REPAIR, but no!!! It started uninstalling and I canceled immediately! But now, it's over, when I open my mail it tells me "unable to start Windows Live Mail, maybe this program is not correctly installed." So now I'm panicking!!! How do I make sure to LOSE NOTHING in my contacts, my emails, and get everything working again????
Thank you for your precious help!!!!!

Hi

You need to reinstall it

You'll get back your emails, contacts, etc.

The problem is that it's no longer available for download on Microsoft (the link to the installer just leads to an error)

You can still find it in full version

Microsoft has discontinued support for WLM since January 10, 2017.

For your data, I have already done reinstalls without losing anything as long as the emails, etc. are not in the WLM installation directory but in your personal Windows folder.

If your emails are important, you should have made backups.
