The Message store folder when viewed in Windows Explorer is located at:
C:\Users\<windows logon profile name>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows =
Live Mail

One can also find the path to their message store folder in WLM's =
options
Alt F O M  (or Windows Live Mail button/Options/Mail)
- click Advanced, Maintenance, Store Folder

- When viewed in Windows Explorer each type of account (mail or news) =
will have set of subfolders (e.g. for mail - Inbox, Sent,=20
Drafts etc.) with messages stored as individual files (mail - *.eml, =
news - *.nws)

Note: Messages use a WLM generated numerical name.
e.g.
- Mail --> 5C673CD6-00000005.eml
- News --> 0DA14EF1-0000C7F0.nws

To see the actual subject when viewing in Windows Explorer enable the =
Subject or Title column

Viewing A Windows Live Mail Message Subject Field in Vista and Windows 7 =
