Why must I send the received Email with my reply?

I wish to create a second email address in Windows Live Mail.  I have recently changed over to Windows 10 and having just taken on a club magazine I need an account to receive items that are submitted.

Can anyone offer a step-by-step instruction on how to create an account?  I am a shiny-topped silver surfer of 75 years and desperately need guidance.  Many thanks

Original title: Email (new)

Windows Live Mail won't reply at all.  It will send some new messages, but won't send to my wife or me if I include address in mail.  All reply messages end up in "Sent Items", but are never received.   I've had remote access 3 times to no avail.
All my contacts in Live Mail disappeared this afternoon ( Feb. 4 2016 ). I always work "signed out", but tried signing in to see if there were any contacts there: only 2 there and I didn't put them there. I signed back out, closed LM, reopened, still no contacts. I shut down the computer, waited, then restarted. Opened LMail, still no contacts. I tried going to Connections, to ensure I was still signed out, it was greyed out, so I assume I am. I navigated to something like Users/AppData/Local/Windows Live Mail Contacts. It said it was an empty folder. I right clicked on the folder, Properties, this is what was there: so surely the folder can't be empty! These are about 300 mostly business contacts and I really need them back, as I have no other copies, except an old folder of Outlook Express .contacts.
I tried sending Shaw emails to somebody’s Outlook live account:
    
Setup Email in Windows Live Mail

https://community.shaw.ca/docs/DOC-2113

After connecting, it says “update in progress”, but it seems to be stuck on that.
When you click on edit, the default ports are 110 and 587.

I instead tried what was on the Shaw documentation page:

POP Settings

 
Incoming server information
Server type    POP
Server address    pop.shaw.ca
User Name    Shaw email without @shaw.ca
Password    Your email password
Security type    SSL
Port    995
        
Outgoing server information
Server address    mail.shaw.ca
User Name    Shaw email without @shaw.ca
Password    Your email password
Security type    TLS
Port    587
-    -

(There is only one encryption field, so I guessed SSL).

It still gives you an “update in progress”.

Gmail on the other hand seems to work fine.
I think that I only had to put the Shaw email and password.

POP.shaw.ca and 995 is put in for you.

Also, if you decide to enable the option of being labelled as Shaw when you send a message, the following information is filled.

>Secured connection on port 587 using TLS

Instead of Outlook Live’s “update in progress”, Gmail shows status updates after you connect an account:

>Last checked: 19 minutes ago.200 mails fetched.View history  161 mails remaining.

I tried sending my Gmail account emails to my Outlook live account, and it worked:

I’m confused as to why I have a different “connecting additional email accounts” page than that person in the first example (sending Shaw mails to Outlook live).

On the top left for me, it says outlook.com.
For him, it says outlook mail (preview).

Hi

I am having problems with the Windows Live Essentials (WLE) and the web based calendar as they are not syncing.  Is there any way I can back up the entries for both versions of the calendar?

It looks as though WLE has a limited life?  Would I be better off if I was to use the calendar that came bundled with Microsoft Office 2010?   This includes Outlook 2010 - but have never bothered using it.

I have run Windows Live Mail on my desktop PC for some time and I have built up quite a large file of deleted emails that I wish to retain. I installed WLM on my laptop so I could use it when I was away from home. However when I start the program on my laptop it downloads all those deleted emails. I tried to remove them as they arrived but there were too many of them, so I shut WLM down.

Is there some way to prevent those old emails being downloaded?
