Question about Outlook Express

How can a Contacts Group Category be deleted?

[Original title: Windows Live Mail Contacts]

I am trying to add my comcast email account to windows live mail, I already have another email account that properly downloads emails to windows live mail.

I go to Accounts then Email+ then I complete the pop up page to "add your email accounts".  I select manually configure settings and on next page manuallly complete ports, incoming, outgoing server, etc. as per comcast requirements.  When I click next, which should take me to the page to click on finish it just returns me to the (now blank) "add your email accounts" page.

I am running widows 8.1.

Please also note that prior to this issue I already had comcast emails on windows live mail, but every time I tried to receive emails, it required me to retype my password even though I have checked the "remember password" button.  So there seems to be some issue with remembering data put into windows live mail.

thanks

This has been a problem for quite awhile. I tried doing the above mentioned steps. No luck! I can get my mail in Frontier mail but like the Windows Mail and the way it works better. Guess I will just have to get used to the Frontier/Yahoo mail program.

How can I install windows live essentials with 0x80040609 code present?

We just purchased a new HP computer and upgraded to Windows 10.  Our old computer ran Vista Home, and we used Live Mail.

I downloaded Windows Essentials, and got our msn.com email (along with our Verizon account) to show up when I open Windows Live Mail.  This morning, I noticed that an email from a contact that was sent Sept. 11 does not show up in the Inbox; however, if I sort by the From column, that email shows up . . . and it says its location is in the Inbox.  While that email is highlighted, if I click and sort the Date field, the email is gone.  When I look at all the emails received on 9/11, the email from that person is not there.

I've run the repair you mentioned in your reply to Peyton50 above, but the email in question still doesn't show.  Is there a way to fix this problem so that all our emails show up in the Inbox according to date, with the most recent first?  It's really strange that the email shows up when sorted by Name but not by Date!  I never ran into this problem with our previous version of Windows Live.  Any help will be most appreciated.

WLM started correctly when I upgraded to Windows 10 , but now after several weeks it suddenly will not start. The start logo appears and, after several minutes, another window appears stating WLM will not start and it may have been installed incorrectly. This is utter nonsense as it operated for years with Windows 7 and for several months with Windows 10. I suspect it is to do with updates.Any comments from anyone or from Microsoft ?

After upgrading to Windows 10 and successful configuration of Windows Live Mail (WiLM), everything was going on smoothly till a week ago when the Windows Live Mail stopped functioning and threw up the error code 0x80090326. Tried re-installation of WiLM but no success. Was heavily dependent on WiLM and had two very important accounts configured. Have I lost all the earlier mails? How can I get the WiLM to get going again?   ....SOS...

Incidentally, my Windows Upgrade Option has also started playing up and  options are NOT displayed when in the Settings Panel under Windows Update...

Should I be regretting for upgrading to Win 10??

 I seem to be doing everything right, but it's not working.  I'd really appreciate some help with this.

In WLM, I clicked on Contacts and on Clean up Contacts.

This took me to People.live.com.

I clicked on Clean Up, and the duplicates were removed.  I checked this out carefully, and there's no question that the job was done.

I signed out of WLM, and signed in again.

The WLM contacts still had the duplicates.

I signed out of People.live.com and out of WLM.

I signed into WLM, and the contacts still had the duplicates.

I am at a loss.

What do I do now.

Thanks with high hopes.
