When attempting to open Windows Live Mail on my desktop, I receive the following pop-up:

Windows live mail could not be started. Closing Windows live mail.  Your calendar contains corrupt data that is forcing Windows Live Mail to close.  (0x8E5E0226)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        I never used the calendar and there was no data in it.  How can I resolve this situation?                          

I had such good advice the last question I asked so I'm coming to the well again.

After installing WL mail and configuring the info in accounts, I keep coming up with this message.  My ISP assures me that the data they gave me is correct but I think not so much. 

Interpretation please;

An unknown error has occurred.

Hello All, slightly confused, Windows live mail refuses to accept my password as correct even though i know that is my password 100%.

I first loaded it up and went to add my hotmail account and it said the password was wrong even though i was originally 99% sure it was right, i then changed my password just to make sure, when returning to live mail, it continued to say it was incorrect, then i tried the online version, which works fine (windows mail AND outlook), why is the desktop version not working for me? Thanks in advance!

Error 0x80040705, source: dotNet in Windows Live Essential Setup.

I am getting the same error code, but with Windows 7, if I click on the WLM icon BEFORE the desktop icons are refreshed, I get the message 'WLM cannot open' or similar. If I then wait until after the refresh, WLM starts normally. Weird or what!

I have installed Windows live mail on my Android phone and it keeps saying "no mail" even though on my desktop I have many messages showing.

Split from this thread.

Ron (and Firedog/Noel), I have a similar question and I think I understand your answer (am a bit unclear why/where JohnM333 is/was getting bogged down, but I also did not fully understand Noel's comment about passwords...).

I will shortly need to migrate my Windows Live Mail to a new computer.

My main question is whether the settings will move, too.

In the current computer it is WLMail 2011 (on Vista).

There are three accounts, one of which is POP3 and the other two are IMAP (one of which is linked to Outlook.com, the other to a 'private' email service).  All three have different log-ins.

I have some message rules for the POP3 account.

In addition there a number of local storage folders (created when I migrated out of Outlook Express).

On the new computer I propose to use WLMail 2012.  In preparation I have already installed that programme.

However, you state:

"You must put the Windows Live Mail store folder files on your computer before installing the program."

=> Does that mean I should uninstall WLMail 2012, copy the message store across and only then install WLMail 2012?

Will Settings be transferred?

Will Contacts be transferred, too, or do I have to export to CSV file and import into the new machine?

Presumably there is no need to do anything on the calendar, which will sync down from Outlook.com?

Thanks.

I am receiving some, not all of my emails on my computer. Very random. I get more on my smartphone but still not all. WML on Windows 7 Home Premium. I have looked at account settings and everything appears to be in order. Thank you for any assistance you might provide.

Hi Guys

Cant send emails getting the following error "The procedure entry point stGIF89a could not be located in the dynamic link library MSVCR80.dll"

Using windows 7.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Cheers

I'm fairly savvy with setups and settings but I don't understand this one. I have no problem at all except with one particular sender that frequently sends mail with attachments. The attachments show up on my online server but do not show up in my e-mail client. I have no problem with any other sender and this is happening from 2 different locations, on 2 different computers, 2 different ISPs and 2 different e-mail clients. At home I am using Windows Live mail on Windows 8.1. At work I am using Outlook Express on Windows XP with the exact same problem. I checked all my settings and nothing is restrictive but it continues to happen from only one sender. Can you help me?
