Hi,
Whenever I open Windows Live Mail it puts up the Account Control box asking if I want Essentials to change the Hard drive??
This only just started after a windows update!!
How can I stop it.
If not can I get Outlook Express for Windows 8.1.
Since Windows 8.1 I have also lost the ability to right click on the desktop without a 2 - 3 minute delay??
Regards,
John

I was using Windows Live Mail to manage a juno.com email account on a computer running Windows 7 Home Premium (x64) Service Pack 1 (build 7601). I made weekly backups to an external drive with the backup program provided in Windows 7.
Following a hard drive crash of my internal drive, I followed your instructions on MS community on how to recover my email by restoring my Windows Live Mail folder from the backup drive, reinstalling and launching WLM. This gives me a virgin folder structure and my juno.com emails are nowhere to be found.
They are, however, on the backup drive as I can navigate there and see them all in their neat folders.
You need to provide clear instructions on how to restore these types of accounts.
Just recently I have received 3 different emails that, when I attempt to open them, cause WLM to shut down. If I attempt to forward them WLM shuts down. I can forward them as an attachment, (.eml), but when I attempt to open the attachment in WLM it shuts down.
Perhaps this is just well and good, I do not know. But my attempts to determine just why this is happening have been unsuccessful.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas, comments, or suggestions?
I do not really expect Windows to notify me if and when a solution is available.

Windows 7 Home Premium - WindowsLive Mail 2012 Version 2012 (Build 16.4.3528.0331) - IE 11
I have been using Windows Live Mail for over a year on Windows 7 PC with no issues. All of a sudden I am not able to send emails, only receive. This happened while I was using the email program – I made no changes to settings, didn’t download anything from internet. I have 5 different email addresses, 4 gmail accounts and 1 hughes.net, and have the same problem with all of them. Multiple reboots of PC have made no difference. I work from home and it is essential I have functioning email. Using the internet gmail server is out of the question.
The error messages I’m getting read as follows:
For the gmail accounts:
Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity.
Subject 'working?'
Server: 'smtp.gmail.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0F

For the hughes.net account:
The message could not be sent. The setting for your outgoing email [SMTP] server might need to be configured. To find the server settings for '*** Email address is removed for privacy ***', please contact your email service provider.
Subject 'working?'

Thank you for your help.
