    If he could use it in Outlook, he can use it in Live Mail. There should be an "Import" menu option. Click on the icon to the right of the paintbrush and select "Show All Menus". Once that's done, go to Tools, Accounts and then Import. Follow the wizard. It should import the settings and messages.

    Since it supports both POP3 and IMAP; yes, it will work with any mail client.
    Ubuntu is an ancient African word, meaning: 'I can't configure Debian'.
