Is it still possible to install WLM on Windows 10 or Windows 11?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"><strong>Ans: <\/strong>No, Microsoft ended support for WLM years ago and replaced it with Outlook.com. But archived EML files can still be used for importing Windows Live Mail to Gmail using manual and automated methods.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1758015771092\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Q2. Will I still have attachment and formatting intact when importing into Gmail?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"><strong>Ans: <\/strong>Yes, if you use the professional <strong>MacSonik EML Exporter<\/strong>, all attachments, formatting, etc, are preserved when migrated. Professional tools have more accuracy and are faster than manual methods to transfer Windows Live Mail to Gmail.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1758015788086\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Q3. Why can\u2019t I connect Windows Live Mail with Gmail even after entering the correct password?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"><strong>Ans: <\/strong>Google has recognized security concerns, and so, Two-factor authentication (2FA) is usually required for data safety reasons. Windows Live Mail (WLM) is an alternative to your standard email secure app, which is why it may provide errors in the sign-in flows. To fix WLM email connections with Gmail, you just have to follow a few steps:\u00a0<br\/>&#8211; Enable Two-Factor Authentication on your Google account<br\/>&#8211; Create an App Password.\u00a0<br\/>&#8211; Turn on IMAP in your Gmail settings<br\/>&#8211; Finally, ensure your Gmail account allows unsafe apps to access.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;I\u2019ve been using Windows Live Mail for years, but our business recently switched to Google Workspace (G Suite).
