Windows Live Mail FAQ
I have set my default account to my gmail account but when I create an email it always shows my other email account in the "From" address. My other email account will only work from a particular city. So I have to manually change the "From" email address before the send process will work.
How do I get the default "From" address to agree with the default "Account"
Hi,
Right now, I use Windows Live Mail on my home computer.
Is the information stored in my hard drive?
Or can I access the same information including contacts and files from another device, say my work station at the office?
Many thanks.
I am unable to reinstall Windows Live Mail (Error: 0x80040609 Source: Contacts) even after uninstalling all Windows Essentials components (from Control Panel or with "cmd" as was suggested in earlier posts. [running Win7 x64, AMD 11 x6 and 12GB RAM].
I have tried about all the suggestions on this site relating to Live Mail reinstall issues, including uninstalled and reinstalled Microsoft.NET 4.5.1 and running the “cmd sfc /scannnow” reported all files were OK. I’ve checked Firewall status, etc., and even resorted to uninstalling MSE . (And now also am unable to reinstall that MS antivirus program as well!! Scary! ) HOWEVER, I could successfully install AVAST antivirus to restore protection of my system ~ and also been able to install and use other ‘registry’ and ‘junk’ cleaners’ (which were suggested elsewhere in this forum). Still nothing will allow the install of either the Windows Live Mail ~ or the entire package of Windows Essentials (or Microsoft Security Essentials!)! I MUCH prefer the Windows Live I've used for years for my email and want it back ~ Outlook is a desktop space hog . Thanks for your help! :-)
Using wins 7 64 Pro on a desktop and Windows Live 2012 mail using it to down load 2 emails identities. This has worked fine for the past two months since upgrade and I have the same setup on my Laptop running Win 7 HE. Only when it does the send/receive emails, the second identity has developed this error message as above. I have changed no settings and have double checked all settings. This works fine on the laptop.
I have done a system restore on the desktop which has not solved the problem. Can not see that this is ISP problem as it works fine on the laptop with same settings.
So, how exactly can I remove the integration that hotmail have with twitter. Every single email I send they get a link to a supposed twitter account of mine (the Id have changed, the email of said twitter account have changed, and the picture removed), yet, it keeps sending this with an old profile picture. I have even tried removing the Twitter account and not even that have worked.
I have already disabled the access of third party info, there are no app connected to my hotmail account, and I have already disable people from finding my twitter through my email, but it seems like microsoft are really in love with my old twitter account...
can anyone help me?

This is a re-post. MSDN sent me here to report my observations.
I find there's a glitch in WLM 12. I involves the "mouseover" action when selecting an email to read.
You will see unopened mail "Do you miss..." and the "mouseover" pop-up which shows the "Folder: MileagePlus - Comcast.." This happens constantly while using WLM 12. It makes detecting the real folder guesswork and a lot of extra steps to manage incoming mail. I've searched all over the Communities to find where to report "bugs." I hope someone here can direct me. Here's the link to the older post. Previous WLM post.
As always - TIA.
