Windows Live Mail FAQ
Original Title: Windows Live E-Mails.
I've purchased a new computer and loaded windows live email and my account is with sbcglobal.net through yahoo. When it receives my emails it will only go back until about the middle of November of this year, is there any way to go back and get my emails from the past year or so
Original Title: Windows live mail problem.
I upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7. My Windows live mail receives mail but can't display the content. I went back to Windows 7 and the same thing resulted. I then repaired Windows Essentials - no help Then I installed Windows Essentials which took the live mail from 2011 to 2012. No help. I can take the e-mails on my phone (same gmail account) and forward them to the laptop and they don't show the message. I can take the e-mails on my phone and send them to my Yahoo mail account and they work fine. The text box shows "Message could not be displayed" and "Windows Live Mail encountered an unexpected problem while displaying this message. Check your computer for low memory or low disk space and try again."
For the past week Windows live Mail has started hanging at least once a day. I have to do a force restart of my computer to get it freed up. Is there a fix for this problem?? I don't know if it started with the last updates that were installed or not. I know that MS is hot to get everyone to move to windows 10 but I am not sure that they would go to the extreme of putting bugs into the last update to encourage folks to move. After 24 years in IT I have become a bit syndical about these kind of things. So, I want to give them the benefit of the doubt. If there is a problem caused by the update I wish that they would make it a priority to get a fix released. So if anyone knows what this problem or have a way to fix it without having to a ton of restore from previous updates, please let me know.
thanks,
mike
Original title: Sorting contact list
My contact groups were all sorted alphabetically but all of a sudden they're mixed up and now I can't sort them by first or last names. HELP!
I recently received an email from Outlook telling me to run update for Windows Live Mail 2012. I followed the link to microsoft and ran the Windows Live Essentials Mail 2012 update (KB3093594).
As soon as I completed this update, when I opened my WLM 2012, I received the following error statement:
"A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is possible."
Somehow this update caused a corruption. How to I correct this to get my WLM 2012 working again?
thank you
I use Windows Live Mail in support of my Outlook.com e-mail address. I recently received a notification from Outlook, telling me I needed to update my WLM account, due to an imminent modification coming from Microsoft, and a link to the update was provided.
So, I clicked on the link, and the update was quickly consummated. However, WLM is now failing to recognize all of my incoming e-mails as either Contacts or Allowed Senders: so every e-mail has that warning, "Unknown sender. Delete and block? Allow sender?"
I've double-checked on my WLM Options/Safety/Safe Senders tab, and the correct items are checked ("Also trust e-mails from my Contacts" and "Automatically add people I e-mail to the Safe Senders List").
I've tried to figure out how to fix this highly-annoying problem, but have no clue. It only started after I made the recent update. Does anyone have any ideas -- your help would be tremendously appreciated! Thanks in advance.
It seems that every time that we are asked to patch Windows Live Mail, the patch kills WLM. WLM stopped working after updating for x64-based system (kb3112148) for windows 7. It closed down when I open it or asks for debugging endlessly. I have tried to change compatibility, and repair Windows Essentials 2012 but nothing works.

Problems still exist. Can't access email in all folders prior to a certain date. (around time I switched to win 10. Error message only says a problem has occurred. Win answer desk says they no longer support live mail. Is this problem fixable?
