Question about Outlook Express

Hi, I'm currently trying to change the location of the Storage Folder in WLM 2012 running on Win7-64. This a new install, the accounts are not yet defined so the default folder contains no messages for now and is located on my SSD system reserved partition. I want to change that location to an alternate data oriented mass drive. I have created the folder and set full control permissions over the folder for basically any entity on the machine. Using the process in WLM 2012: Options -> Mail -> Advanced -> Maintenance -> Storage Folder, I select my folder using the dialog but pressing OK once the folder is selected and its name is displayed in the dialog has not effect, that is, the dialog stays there and hangs and will only react to Cancel or Close thereby refusing to confirm my change of the location. Some informational or error message from the application would be useful at that point but instead the user is served with the perfect void of galactic space ... Closing, rebooting, etc doesn't solve anything.

So first, what am I missing here ? And second, is there any particular folder structure that I should pre-define under my alternate storage folder ? And finaly, will all my messages be stored on that folder once properly assigned or will some still remain on the default folder location (either the Outbox, etc) ?

I have looked all over the Net for this for hours and nobody else seems to have this issue. I cannot leave the default folder to be used by Live Mail because once my email accounts are defined, the IMAP logics will trigger a download of thousands of email messages from the server to my machine flooding my system reserved partition. Not acceptable.

Thanks in advance for anyone providing welcome wisdom on this.

Original Title: WINDOWS LIVE EMAIL

I have a desk top which has the windows live email.  Last October or so, I got a lap top, and have been unable to get the windows live email.  I do not like the format of any of the other emails out there, and was wondering if you could provide a link for me to get the same windows live email I have on my desk top.  Your help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanking you in advance.

Windows Live comes up with 2 sign-ins.  How can I remove the 2nd one?

Windows Live comes up with 2 sign-ins.  How can I remove the 2nd one?

Several months ago, my account on this computer, not that of another user also on this computer, starting getting the Windows Live ID Sign In Assistant error, "... caused parts of some services to be disabled, etc..." that many have reported but there seems to be no cure for.  Coincidental to that annoyance cropping up, one of my two email accounts started prompting for the password for access.  I tried entering the password, but it won't take it and keeps prompting and then I noticed that the account was functioning just fine, sending/receiving, without ever resolving the password prompt window, so I closed the window.

While WLM and all is quite functional, the process is very annoying.

This computers is a W7 Home Premium SP1 machine

Steps taken to resolve have been limited and quite unproductive.  In one process (can't remember the application name), I changed Windows Live ID Sign-In Assistant in services.msc from Auto to Manual and that didn't resolve anything.  In another step, I upgraded Windows Live Essential from 2011 (possibly earlier) to '12 and that didn't improve anything.

Oddities: only effects one of two users on this computer and only effects one of two email accounts in my user account.  I have no issues with WLM on my W8.1 laptop

Suggestions for remedy are appreciated.
