How to Import POP Messages from Windows Live Mail
In Windows Live Mail, goto "Menu -> export email -> export email messages -> Microsoft Windows Live Mail.
Choose a folder to save to.
Either export all folders for all accounts or select "selected folders" and ctrl + left-click to select/deselect folders. For example, you might choose to just export "Inbox", "Sent" and "Trash" under one of the account folders.
Then, in the folder you chose to export to, there will be a folder for each account and in each account folder will be the folders you chose to export for that account. For example, you might have a you@hotmail.com folder with "Inbox" in it.
Each message folder will have a bunch of eml files in it that represent the messages for that folder. Before you can import these messages into Opera, you have to convert all the eml files in each folder to mbox files.
To do this, goto <http://apveening.a61.nl/software/> and download the "EML to mbx" program. Unzip it. Then, copy both batchconvert.bat and eml2mbx.exe to each of the message folders. Then, double-click on batchconvert.bat in each. Then, all your messages will be converted to mbox files.
Then, in Opera, you just setup each POP account and import the messages into it.
