I am upgrading from vista to win 7 via the upgrade method and not the reinstall method. I ran windows advisor and it didn't mention anything about mailwasher pro at all and was wondering if i should uninstall it before upgrading or can i leave it alone? Also, i think there will be no more outlook express with win 7. Will mailwasher pro work with windows live email?

I'm not aware of any problems with the upgrade. As the folder paths are the same, you shouldn't lose data.
Windows Live Mail is fine, you may just want to check afterwards in the WLM account setup that it isn't leaving emails on the server after downloading, as it seems to default to this behaviour which many users don't actually want.
