My outgoing messages show in the Sent folder.  After 2 hours they have not appeared in destination email.

What do I need to change?

Firedog,

You helped with a different issue last week but in doing that activity I have another issue that has been bugging me regarding WLM. I assume this is also present in any version of WLM (2011 or 2012).

I appears when a new account is set up for gmail (in my case) it generates a number of folders under the main email account heading:

Gmail (account name)

    Inbox

    [Gmail]

        All Mail

        Drafts

        Important

        Sent Mail

        Spam

        Starred

        Trash

    Drafts

    Personal

    Receipts

    Sent

    Trash

    Travel

    Work

At the [Gmail] level there is a small icon that allows for the folders under [Gmail] to be hidden.

My question is when an account is set up do all of these folders really need to be created and if not how do you NOT have them appear?  If you can't avoid having them set up is there any issue with deleting them - Starred, Personal, Trash, Travel, Work, etc?

Along the same lines as this thread, I have noticed that the message count between the Inbox, All Mail and Important never seems to match. Is there something I can do to keep the message count the same? For example, my current Inbox message count is 461, the All Mail message count is 2802, and the Important message count is 2424. When I move email messages to my storage folders I typically move them from the Inbox folder. Should I be moving from a different source?

I try to keep the Inbox uncluttered and utilize the Storage Folders area to move those messages that I have dealt with. The All Mail and Important folders still hang onto these emails and at times even though the Inbox indication is that they have been read, they may or may not have been indicated as having been "Read" in the All Mail or Important folders.

By moving messages to the Storage Folders I'm assuming that they are being moved to my local disk drive and moved off of the gmail server - but I guess I am wrong. I guess that's one of "perks" of IMAP?

I am trying to connect email on a laptop to the same email address which is working happily on a desktop PCs. Both computers are using windows 7 home premium. The windows live mail id is connected to a btconnect.com address and as I say works happily on the desktop pc. I have used exactly the same settings on the laptop as are on the pc without success. Any idea where I can be going wrong? After inputting the settings and trying to connect, I get the window up asking me to input the password, which ISO, over and over again.

Why are some of my emails, which I have transferred to some storage folders being overwritten by an earlier email?

,

It only occurs in one or two storage folders, The subject title remains as before it was transferred to folder and If the transferred email had an attachment, this still shows with the subject heading  but when I open it to read the email, the content is the same as another email lower in the folder and the attachment isn't available. This is happening to almost all of the emails in the particular storage folder.

Can anyone help?

I am so frustrated. For whatever reason, windows live has misplaced my sent mail and all of my storage folders and that info is very critical.

Is this a problem with windows live that occurs a lot? How do I get this back? Hopefully an admin will get to me and help as this lost info is critical that it be retrieved

Thanks.

I'm Running Windows Live Mail, the 2011 version, under Vista.  This is the WLM mail client, not Outlook Webmail.  I POP/SMTP messages from four different accounts with various providers.

At the top of the WLM page, there is a "Sign In" button.  Hovering over it, a message comes up, "Sign in to Windows Live Mail using your Windows Live ID."  I think the 'Windows Live Mail' they're talking about there is now called Outlook.

I have not used this button since MS dumped Messenger some time ago.  Today, just because I'm stupidly inquisitive, I hit the button and signed into Outlook, just to see what would happen.  Well, at the time it looked like nothing did, but evidently doing that replaced my local WLM Contacts, resident on this computer, with a very old assortment of Contacts from the Web, dating back to when I quit using Messenger.

All is not lost, some of the old ones are still good, but newer contacts are missing completely; that is, neither on the computer nor on Outlook on the Web.  Did the Contacts file on my computer really get wiped, or is it lurking with a nonstandard extension somewhere and might be recovered?  All help much appreciated, thanks.

I did try Support but they want 100 bucks and I do not have that money.  I did everything they said including uninstalling and reinstalling, creating a new user and installing, and that made the problem so bad that I lost the internet connection in the app.  When I click work online there is a red X over it.  I go into the options menu Connection and click the Change button and nothing happens.  Help!  It will take a lot of work to switch everything to Gmail but maybe I should.  I have about had it with MS.  Had so many issues with IE I got rid of it.  What do you think?

I have a web site and email and I use live mail. But some messages, which on my web control panel is in the junk folder, doesn't show up on live mail in the junk folder.

The problem is...some of these emails are not junk and unless I got to webmail, I do not know what has been sent to me.
