i have windows live mail 2012 on a win7 laptop which has several hotmail outlook and live mail accounts using pop or imap to retrieve the mail to my computer. but when i set up this email account on my windows live mail it starts to sinc folders then the username and password prompt keeps comming up and i cant get any further than that.

I recently upgraded to Windows 10.  A week later (coincidentally I hope) my hard drive died.  I have used a Memo Back up Drive for a few years, so was able to re-install my old hard drive info onto my new hard drive.  Somehow, my Windows Live Mail didn't make the transition to the new hard drive.  I can load a new Windows Live Mail, but where (if possible) can I find the contact list, and old mail files from my original program?

How do i delete (empty) the sent emaimal folder?
I have windows 10 and WLM 2011 15.4.3538.0513. Using mail this morning it froze then reset but wiped my personel folder containing a large amount of info that I need. how can I recover this?
My contacts list in Windows Live Mail has been emptied - not by me, and not had any updates that could have kyboshed it. However did have a Comodo threat warning and chose 'terminate and block' guess should have chosen the 'terminate, block & reverse' option?
 
Cannot now enter contacts manually, or rather I can and it all seems ok until next time I open Live Mail and they are all gone. Every time I open Live Mail I now get a message "Something unexpected happened and Windows Live Mail must close." Have researched on the forum and found this message is related to lack of entries in contact list - but have been unable to put any contacts back in permanently. 
 

Have attempted a repair in Control Panel but that did not fix it. Nor did renaming the contacts file folder do anything other than stop Live Mail opening at all. I didn't have a previous restore point to restore it to, so that option was out.

 

Can't get windows live mail to send... says it is "executing' for the last 24 hours+  ?

Almost same error i am getting too since MS decided to upgrade hotmail.com to OWA

Unable to send or receive messages for the Hotmail (mohit17977) account.

Server Error: 0x801941F7
Server: 'https://m.hotmail.com/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x801941F7

i did remove account and added it back. No luck.

I'm facing some problems with Hotmail account and Windows Live Mail.

I had two different accounts from Hotmail, and somehow one of them just stop do synchronize with hotmail. The other account still working normally but the main account just stops.

I'm using IMAP protocol in both accounts. 

By the way:

1. I already delete the account from WLM and configure it from zero more than once, It works, but after while the problem shows up again.

2. There is no error messages when synchronize process running, looks normal, but the messages does not synchronize or download from server. When I go to www.outLook.com I can see a the messages that I can't see in WLM.

I would appreciate a lote to have a support for this question, can someone in this community can help me please. 

Thanks a lot!!!

Windows Live Mail 2012 won't download new mail this morning. OS is Windows 10 Home. I have run repair twice - once from control panel and once using wlarp.exe. Email server is http://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v2.0.0/sync.aspx. What do you think? Should I remove my email account and set it back up? Outlook.com and the Windows 10 mail app both appear to be normal. I assume because I have mail files on my computer as well as on Outlook.com that all will come back with a new account.

Thanks
