WLM (Windows Live Mail) efficiently manages multiple email accounts, calendars, contacts, and other data items. Also, Windows Live Mail supports <strong>Post Office Protocol (POP3)<\/strong> and <strong>IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol)<\/strong> as incoming server and <strong>Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)<\/strong> as the outgoing server.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"h4\"><strong>File Formats &amp; Locations of\u00a0 WLM Data Files<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With the discontinuation of Outlook Express in Windows Vista, Windows Live Mail became the default email client on many systems. On Windows 7 and later, email data is typically stored at:<\/p>\n<pre style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>C:\\Users\\[UserName]\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\Windows Live Mail<\/strong><\/pre>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Each message is saved individually with metadata. It also contains the additional information that Windows Live Mail requires to display email data.

It is mostly used by corporations for professional communication purposes. Thus, the elimination of such information accidentally or otherwise may cause inconvenience to the users. Finally, to balance such catastrophic situations, Windows Live Mail comes with a <strong>\u201cDeleted Items\u201d<\/strong> folder.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This folder is available to store the items deleted from any mail folder of the client. However, cases involving hard deletion of emails are not handled well by the client. Nevertheless, erasing or deleting email messages permanently does not mean that they\u2019re gone forever; they can still be extracted forensically.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Forensic tracing of the email is used for retrieving information from mailbox files for analysis purposes.
