Updated to Windows 10, lost a bunch of contacts.  I am using Windows Live Mail but I never sign in to my Windows account when I use this email application.  Did creating a sign in during the Windows 10 upgrade also sign me into Windows Live Mail (and also consequently lost a bunch of my contacts?)  How do I get them back?  Do the contacts reside also on my local drive that I can access to restore the missing contacts?

I am trying to create an HTML email signature which includes an animated GIF image file (a regular image file would do, but I'm not convinced it is the file type I'm using that is causing the problem). I want to add the signature to emails sent from WLM 2012 desktop program. I would like to be able to send messages with the signature from a smartphone and webmail interface as well, but one step at a time!

I have tried following a number of different 'Help & how-to' articles, such as:

... I could go on!

Just one of the numerous problems I am having trying to achieve this is, although when I type the text for the signature it displays correctly, having saved the signature, when I open a new message the - (hyphen) symbol appears as â€“ and the ' (apostrophe) as â€˜ or â€™.

Some of the above articles suggest that if you want to include an image file in your signature, the file must be stored 'online' rather than on your own PC/laptop. I have uploaded the image to several online storage facilities including Microsoft's OneDrive, Google Drive & Dropbox. This either has no effect or, when I open a new email message, instead of the image I see the URL to where the image is stored online, or simply a place-holder where the image should be!

This is driving me MAD!!!

Day after upgrading to Windows 10 the Windows Live Mail 2012 program won't run.  Help!

How can I setup Windows mail Live to automatically move messages mark [SPAM] to the junk folder?

Thanks

After upgrading to windows 10 from 8.1, I cannot seem to get the live mail app to sync.  I can get to the internet with no issue and can access my email account via web address.  When I try to use live mail, I get the above error message.  All settings are correct in windows email.  Email is working correctly on my mobile device.    Not sure if I should delete the account and then re-create it or what.  Not quite sure what to do next......

I also noticed I have an outlook account.  I do not use outlook and the email button is turned off in this account.  Can I delete this account without creating issues?

Appreciate any help anyone can provide.
