Where does WIndows Live Mail store its files

As mentioned in my other thread here, my windows 7 machine is playing up big time. So I'd like to find out where Windows Live Mail stores its emails and addresses so that I can prepare backup in case I have to do an erase and install.

Thanks for the link. Video is also very good. However, I'm not able to launch windows live mail due to an issue with the computer. So looking at a way to manually extract the actual files that Live Mail uses to store everything just in case I lose it when I try resolve the windows issue.
