Can I uninstall Windows Live Mail and then reinstall it without losing my user name, email address and password??? If so would you please give me step by step instructions on how to accomplish this...
Thank you very much for your correct helpful answer.
I have Windows 7 Premium Home Edition...
I have a website from which l sent out mass emails (i.e. not from a Hotmail address).
The emails were not "marketing" or so l thought. Let me explain:
I Googled a load of businesses / charities, and got their email addresses. I compiled those email addresses into a big list.
I then mass mailed those lists in blocks of 20-40 addresses, asking if them if they could sell to me (directly, wholesale) some of the used items they deal in.
I got a few responses, but l also got a few failed email notifications, because some addresses were just "dead" or "full".
In my second round of mass-mailing (and l think this was my final round, due to what happened), l got one email bounce back with a notification saying "high likelihood of spam", referring to my emails of course. The target email address in that instance was not a Hotmail address, but a private address.
I sent a test email to a Hotmail email address, and it is going to the spam folder. I never once sent an email to a Hotmail address (l think?) during my massmailing.
There are 2 closely related issues here:
1. I didn't realise l could be seen as a spammer. I was emailing people offering to *buy* not to *sell*. I thought "marketing" (as per the CANN-SPAM 2003 regulations) referred to trying to sell things. Moreover, this is why l didn't include an unsubscribe option within the email message that l sent to people, because the email was a once-off (if there is no reply) and also because l wasn't selling anything. It would appear now that l should have included an unsubscribe option. Mistakes were made and l am happy to concede that. Another possible reason l got listed as a spammer by various spamlisting services is that through my self-made email list, l had inadvertently emailed a handful dead inboxes, and the ISP hosting them was treating them as "spam traps" somehow?
2. Hotmail / Windows Live Mail now sees me as a spammer.
So my question now is: how do l get off the Windows Live Mail spam list? As I hope you can see, this is all an innocent mistake on my part. I dislike spammers. My heart sinks when l have a fresh email address and that first piece of spam arrives. I really am not a spammer. I was emailing people who are in a specific industry, asking them for secondhand stock. I was offering those people money. I had no idea this could get me spam listed! My mistake could either have been (i) not giving an unsubscribe option - see the reason why, in Point #1, above (ii) accidentally emailing dead inboxes.
So, to reiterate: how do I get off the Windows Live Mail spam list? My emails do get through to Hotmail, but they go direct to spam. Of course, people always check their spam boxes when expecting email from a company. But l just feel this is so unfair. I really didn't have any bad intentions when l mass mailed, and let me just repeat: I was offering people money, i.e. l was offering to buy things, in my mass email. I wasn't selling weird things, in fact I wasn't asking for money in any form.
Please help!
Original Title:
Windows Live Mail
Have been using windows live mail with windows 7 64 bit. Tried to send an e-mail yesterday using one of my group contacts. It has not sent. When I hit send a window comes up that says "sending two messages executing. Then at bottom it says "one message sent". There are no messages in my drafts nor outbox and there is an x in the work offline box. Also have not received any new messages either. What to do?
OT: Email problems.
I have my internet through a local cable company, I don't use their email sight but use Windows Live Mail. All of a sudden some of the emails sent to me are bouncing and saying I don't have a outlook.com mailbox. I checked today and there is a outlook mail box besides the Windows Live Mail. How do I get rid of outlook.com without losing Windows Live Mail? Any help would be appreciated by me.
Thank you!
I have been using Window Live Mail with no problems.
I few months ago it stopped sending (although receiving ok) but it mysteriously started again the next day. Now I have the problem again. I have tried different ports as suggested elsewhere but they don't work. I've check port 25 ok with my ISP (BT) by using telnet and the port isn't blocked. All mail from elsewhere is coming in ok but anything I send from WLM disappears from Outbox, goes into Sent but then doesn't arrive - I've checked this as I have 3 emails and truied sending mail between them. If I send on webmail they work ok. I have also deleted one of my accounts and re-set it up but still the same problem.
Don't know if anyone else is experiencing the same problem. I have been trying to login into my live account within Windows Live Mail, but I keep getting an error stating that I have entered the wrong name and/or password. Yet, I am still able to login into my live account outside of Windows Live Mail from any browser. I've even removed the account within Windows Live Mail and attempted to add it in again, but I keep running into the same error. If anyone has a solution please email me at *** Email address is removed for privacy ***
Thank you
Since 10130 (slow ring) I am unable to create a message or reply to a message. Otherwise WLMail appears OK; rules, folders and such.

When I open a message in a separate window, then click [Reply] Pic. 1 appears, then Pic. 2 after I discard Pic. 1
I am not able to see any errors in Event Log that corresponds to these.
I'm not ready to attempt to repair Essentials just yet. I hope to get advice here first.
