Started out I couldn't send emails from another server.  Although configuration was correct, emails were stuck in out box.
Had a number of emails stuck in out box.  They wouldn't go.  So this blocked incoming emails because outgoing went first and when not able to go, everything else got blocked.
Then when I deleted them, Live Mail would continue to attempt to send nonexistent emails.  I deleted the the email address from live mail and then I could send and receive (briefly).  This happened first with one server and now it is with earthlink and gmail.  I haven't reconfigured the other email onto live mail again -yet.

Then I stopped being able to receive emails.  All of a sudden I could receive them and I couldn't send anything.  Which is where I am now.  I have no tool bar where I can choose to send, or check or reply etc.  When I attempt to send from another source I get that there is a problem. 

What do I need to do to fix this problem?  Delete Live mail and reinstall it? How do I save my emails and contacts before I uninstall WLM?

There are some other issues with WLM too.

thanks for your help in advance...
