Q – I need to move my Windows Live Mail emails to Gmail as I am switching WLM client. I decided to save the backup of some important emails to Gmail account but I am unable to perform the task. Can anyone suggest me an effective method to accomplish the task in an easy manner?

I read your query and came to know that you are now looking for conversion of Windows Live Mail data i.e. EML files to Gmail account. For this, you can simply configure your Gmail account into Windows Live Mail.

You can try this alternate method. Simply convert WLM to Outlook and later on Outlook to Gmail account.

Go for Softaken EML to Gmail Importer tool if you simply want to choose an automated solution. I have tried this tool last month when I was moving from WLM to Gmail. The tool worked with few commands and takes a very short time to move EML files to Gmail. The tool has several advanced features that will allow you faster transfer. A free trial is also available by the application.
