In other words, WLM doesn\u2019t offer technical support and updates. On the other hand, Mozilla Thunderbird has taken the place of WLM. As a result, this application provides various features, such as message management, availability of cross-platform, junk filtering, and many more. Therefore, users want to import Windows Live Mail to Thunderbird.<\/p>\n<p>This blog will discuss several ways to migrate from Windows Live Mail to Thunderbird.
