just started new use of 2nd win7 Laptop.My original which also runs 64bit win7 has windows live.I can't seem to install windows live on my new pc and having noticed Mozillia offers Thunderbird i'm curious to know if i could maybe install it on both laptops and also transfer any emails/email files to thunderbird and be accessable on both units. I've recently after having such difficulty with IE have defaulted to Mozilla.

There is no direct import of live mail. If you have the mail and contact on say the live mail server (hotmail/live/outlook.com then I would suggest simply configuring the account as IMAP in Thunderbird and allow the mail to synchronize. If you must import mail from Live mail (the program), there a multiple versions with slightly different storage systems)s which really make a manual import difficult. I would really suggest one of the paid mail converters that convert EML to MBOX as a minimum or live mail to Thunderbird (basically the same thing but understanding lives folder structure and making MBOX files for each folder.)
