Windows Live Update has lost everything on Windows Live Mail

12. June 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , ,

Sry to bother - have searched for this answer but found nothing specific recently that answers everything.

I just did the automatic update for Windows Live and lost all but one of my accounts, all emails between 2012 and today, all storage folders. I can't find the directory my emails are in, despite checking these forums. I did find out to sign in to Windows Live Mail - which got me my most recent emails and one account.

I'd very much like to find emails and folders - lots of important stuff. And to save myself adding back the accounts again.

Any help very welcome. Won't be around again till later to respond to answers but very much appreciate any in the meantime.

Thanks!

Muriel

Whenever I start the computer windows automatically downloads a windows essential and it take about 5 to 10 minutes of "don't turn your computer off" while downloading.  Then it say unable to download windows essentials "don't turn your computer off" again whil it uninstalls what it just put on there tyimg up my computer for another 5 to 10 minutes.  I'm getting to hate windows...  I have the box checked do not install any updates unless I ok it.  It still does it any way.  What can I do,  I'm very frustrated and anti windows at this time.  The computer is almost two months old (Dell AMD A8) with windows 8.1.  Bill Murphy *** Email address is removed for privacy ***

Windows Live Mail -> Windows Essential 2012 Mail

11. June 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , ,

I am using Windows Live Mail 2010 on a Windows 7 Pro 64-bit machine.

1) Is there any benefit in upgrading to Windows Essentials 2012 Mail?

2) Is there any fundamental difference between the two? Do I gain anything?

3) If I install WE2012 Mail, can I safely and reliably import all of my existing mail and contacts?

4) Is the email storage location and format in WE2012 Mail the same as in WLM 2010?

5) Are contacts stored in the same location on the hard drive?

6) It has always been annoying that in WLM when I open a collapsed folder tree, the focus jumps back to the top of the list rather than staying on the folder I just expanded. This generally happens the first time you expand a collapsed folder; but it can be totally random. When you collapse and expand the folder again, the focus does not change. Does WE2012 Mail behave the same way?

I cannot export my email messages to transfer to my new PC

11. June 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , , ,

If I use the facility 'Export Email Messages' in Windows Live Mail only 1 message is exported. I am trying to export from my old laptop which is in Windows 7 and transfer my messages via a USB Flash Drive to import on my new laptop which is Windows 8.1. Can you advise me the best way to do this. I transferred all my data using the 'East Transfer' app. which all transferred across OK but the transfer included Windows Live Mail messages which only transferred a few of my messages and no contacts. The contacts I have since been able to export and then import on my new laptop. Help...I do not want to lose these messages, they have information that I need to keep.

 

How do I transfer live mail from old hard drive

11. June 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags:
My mother board stop working on my old computer but the hard drive is fine. I bought a new computer with 8.1 operating system.   I can't figure out how to get my Windows live email program and all the email addresses from my old hard drive onto my new windows 8.1 computer.  Do I need to download and do a new install of live mail or is there a way to get what is on my old hard drive onto my new computer?  I hooked up a usb cable so I can see files on my old hard drive but I'm not sure how to get them installed on the new computer.  Sure could use some help.  thanks!

How can I prevent or stop the reading pane from displaying the content of the emails in the “Deleted Items” folder in Windows Live Mail and keep the reading pane on for the “Inbox”?

11. June 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail

One of the reasons for turning off the reading pane, or for the reading pane to be off by default in the junk mail folder from Windows Live Mail 2012 is security. The idea is to prevent and avoid malicious emails from infecting the computer by opening them. It is therefore understood that if you see the content of an email in the reading pane your computer can get infected if the email is a threat.

If I delete an email in the "Junk email" folder the email appears in the "Deleted Items" folder and the "Deleted Items" folder has a reading pane that is active or on.

Why is the reading pane on by default in the "Deleted Items" folder? I cannot turn off the reading pane in the "Deleted Items" folder. I want to maintain the reading pane active or on in the "Inbox" but not in the "Deleted Items" folder. It is easy to commit a mistake and see (in the reading pane) of the "Deleted Items" folder the content of an email that you would not have want to see.

Thank you for your attention.

Why doesn't the spell checker automatically capitalize the first letter of a sentence?

Cannot send email out using Windows live email: Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC78

10. June 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , ,

I have Windows Live2009 and I have not been able to send out emails for a few weeks. Everything was working fine until then. I contact my internet provider Comcast and spent a great deal of time with them on the phone and they suggested the error was with the software and to contact you. Below is the message I received today when trying to send a test email:

The message could not be sent because the server rejected the sender's e-mail address. The sender's e-mail address was 'mo**********@comcast.net'.

Subject 'test'
Server Error: 550
Server Response: 550 5.1.0 Authentication required
Server: 'smtp.comcast.net'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC78
Protocol: SMTP
Port: 587
Secure(SSL): Yes
