Limitations to Manually Export Windows Live Mail to Outlook
After following the above steps carefully, now it’s time to check the exported Windows Live Mail to Outlook. Generally, the user faces many difficulties to import Windows Live Mail to PST with a manual method.
Some of the limitations of using the manual method are:-
The manual method did not support Exporting or Converting large or multiple EML or EMLX files.
During the Manual EML file conversion, it may be possible some portion of your email data is lost (There is no guaranty of complete EML to PST file conversion)
Transferring Email attachments is not possible by manual methods.
Lots of effort and time are required when performing manual EML file conversion.
Require Installation of two email clients at the same. (i.e., Windows Live Mail and Outlook email client).
Since every user’s system classifications vary to another, so the manual method is not always working.
