Windows Live Mail accounts importing issue and feedback

In Windows Live Mail (build 12.0.1606) there is an inconsistency in the Export/Import accounts process that I have just reported to the product team:

You can export your e-mail accounts or newsgroup subscriptions with File / Export / Accounts… menu, then select each account and press Export, this will generate several iaf files.

But the File / Import menu does not have an entry for Accounts… wtf!?

In fact you will find this feature in Tools / Accounts / Import menu, which is a bit surprising!

Another feedback I made is to have an “Export All” button from the accounts list.

Also the newsgroup subscriptions export does not work quite well as it just save the newsgroup server settings and not your subscriptions in it.
