I have a group in Windows Live Mail. I want to add a new address.  When I open the group (Start,user name, select contact, find the group .....) and add the contact it gets added.  But..........when I then go back to  Windows Live Mail and access that Group name it has not been changed.

Also if I try to add a new contact the same thing occurs.  It's in the contact file but not in Windows Live.  Must be I'm missing a step some where?
Using Windows 7, I'm backing up my Contacts in Windows Live Mail Version 2011 (Build 15.4.3555.0308) to a CSV file.  Some of my contacts have both a personal email address & a work email address, but in the selection window for which fields to back-up, there doesn't seem to be a tick-box option for work email, and only the personal email address appears in the .CSV file.
How do I have my email say that I am away from my computer for x days?
I transferred content from the old computer to the new one (XP to W7) using Belkin.   I used the import process within Live Mail which sent all the unread mail one place and created an Import Folder in Storage.  However, the Import Folder is empty.  Is there a way to direct ALL the files into storage?  The import process within Live Mail does not designate where it will send the files and does not give the user an option.   Is there another way?

I have a question about the new Microsoft Services Agreement in October 2012:

 

"The Microsoft branded services require that you sign into your Microsoft account periodically, at a minimum every 270 days, to keep the Microsoft branded services portion of the services active, unless provided otherwise in an offer for a paid portion of the services. If you fail to sign in during this period, we may cancel your access to the Microsoft branded services. If the Microsoft branded services are canceled due to your failure to sign in, your data may be permanently deleted from our servers."

Does Windows Live Mail do this for me automatically (sign me in)  when I download and read my mail offline?  Or, do I have to actually sign-in with my username and password occasionally?

 

For the past four days , ever since Cogeco.ca's server went down , I have had problems getting my email site to work properly.  I have spoken to 6 reps of Cogeco and they insist that it is something wrong with Windows Live Mail and they go on talking  too  technical for me. .  I just recently bought a new computer and Windows 7 is on it.  I used to have Outlook Express and now it is Windows Live Mail that runs my email account. I signed in to Windows Live Mail 2012 and yet nothing is working .  Can you help me? 

I can not send email messages on WLM.  However, I can receive messages.  The messages are going to the out box.  WLM was working fine since I purchased the Dell computer in April 2012.  The problem started today, 8/29/12.  The email messages are one or two words in length.  I can send and receive messages on my COX webmail account.  The following is the error message I receive:
