Windows Live Mail FAQ
Hello,
I wanted to integrate a Gmail-account in Windows Live Mail, but when I get an email or copy an email from a different account into this Gmail folder he automatically makes a copy on the Gmail server. I don't want that, I want my emails only in the Live Mail, but I didn't find the correct button yet. With other accounts it works fine...
Is there a function to keep my mails in the Live mail on my computer or is that impossible with Gmail?
Thank you!
Regards,
Stefan
I have lost my Trash folder in Live Mail. It is only gone on my PC, however, it is still there in my phone and tablet. I would like to get it back in the Live Mail interface so that I can better manage my email. It is also there in the Windows 10 mail program, but that is very cumbersome as I need to delete all trash individually as there is no delete all function.
Hope you can help. Thanks

Everytime I open windows live an error message pops up, it says, There was an error when attempting to connect to the windows live calendar service. Never had a calendar service that I know of but the error message is getting annoying. what's going on? Jan
[Original title: error message]
our environment is as follows
exchange 2003 - exchange 2007
we had a connection problem so we made the mails of the users in the branches at the exchange 2003, so they are connected through POP3 and IMAP.
now the users that on Exchange 2003 uses either outlook express or windows live.
i have figured out a way to resolve the connection problem, now i need to migrate the mailbox from exchange 2003 to exchange 2007.
to do so while keeping the user's mails, i need to export from Windows Live or outlook express to outlook.
"which is easy"
* Make sure that the workstation can see both servers "exchange 2003 and exchange 2007 "by name" AKA DNS resolution is working.
* Create a profile in Mail at Control Panel.
* Connect to the current exchange 2003.
* then run Windows Live or Outlook express and export.
until now everything is fine and going smooth, but the problem that sometimes the export freeze at a certain mail due to mail corruption. lets say the folder named "Bill" and has 160 email.
if i cleared this folder the problem is gone "due to the deletion of the corrupted message in the mail"
i would like to either bypass the corrupted message, or find a way to find the corrupted message in the folder.
Microsoft can't handle its own Word documents. On top of that, it provides totally wrong advice.
I just bought a new computer and found out that the default settings for email attachments in Windows Live Mail are set to block all Word documents. Wow! Microsoft doesn't trust its own documents!
Then I clicked on "Help" (within the email with the blocked Word document), and this led me to this page: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-live/mail-email-download-attachments-troubleshoot-ui
The advice there is to ask the sender to ZIP the Word dovcument and sent it as a ZIP file. Wow! Double WOW! If any email attachment should be suspicious, it should be a ZIP file, because it's ard to tell what might be hidden within the ZIP file. The ZIP file could easily hide a malicious executable file. I tell all my friends to never click on ZIP file unless they are absolutely sure it comes from a trusty source. And even thn, is that really an email from your trusty source, or is someone just hijacking their email address?
I can't believe that Microsoft recommends ZIP files over DOC files.
Microsoft seems to be going down the hill fast.
