Hi everyone, I am new to Windows Live Mail Essentials, but was a former user of Windows Live. Unless I am doing something really wrong with WLM, it is the most cumbersome email program I have ever tried. So please, hopefully there is someone out there that an help me with my issues.
1) I have tons of email folders on the left side of the inbasket. If I want to select a folder, I scroll through the list and click on it only to have it flip me back to the inbox or to the last folder I was using and I then have to scroll back to the folder I needed. Is there a way to fix this so it remains on the selected folder the first time?
2) I imported my contacts list and also all of my email from a Vista 32bit machine where I used Windows Live to this new Windows 7 64 bit with Windows Live Mail Essentials. Nothing imported as it should. It all appeared in the 'Special Folders' section which wouldn't have been so bad if I could drag and drop those folders to appear under the Inbox at the top. I also thought I would just leave them where they were, but the folder names had changed and that would mean I have to scroll clear to the bottom each time I wanted to look in one of those folders. So I am in my second week of selecting each one, highlighting the messages within the folder (you can't move the folder and all of the emails), creating a new folder and moving the contents to that folder at the top. What a waste of time.
To make matters worse, I selected all of the email files during the export and only about half of them exported. Eeeeek. So I now have the other laptop sitting next to the new one and I am comparing what I have and don't have.
3) Is there any way I can move the 'sent', 'deleted', 'draft' 'junk email' and 'outbox' folders from the bottom to the top under the inbox? This is so cumbersome and so much scrolling.
4) Is there a true user guide or is there a help within the email program? If there is, I just haven't found it.
So you can see from my questions, this has not been a very pleasant experience. I'm really hoping someone out there can say 'you dope, here's how you do it' and it will clear up all of my questions.
Thanks so much,

Still getting message that default email is not installed. Is it something to do with Rundlle?
I used to recieve new unread emails under the "unread" quick view email box
now all new emails come into " in box ". I don't know why. I can seem
to figure out how to have new unread emails revert back to coming into
the unead box.
I used to be able to put a reminder in calendar, then choose a notice time, and it would pop up on my email.
Now reminder's is greyed out and no notice choice.Help please. Thank you. Don

I want to send an album of pics to friends and it comes back error.
Despite setting my mail to keep a copy of sent messages in the sent folder, some of them are not showing up. Seems that all from my daughter do that and when I delete them......her message will be there with a little triangle in front of her name.....a few others show up that way too and any of them do not show up in the sent folder when I reply......it just started to do this about 2 months ago. I tried to restore my computer to an earlier time but Windows 7 does not go back very far to enable me to do it.....how can I fix it? Exactly what are those triangles in front of some of my messages in the sent and delete folders? Help help, I can't stand this!
