For the past few days, when I log in to MSN using the butterfly icon, the My MSN.com window opens.  But within that window, when I click on my Outlook.com Inbox it takes me to www.bing.com/search, which is bizarre!!!  Currently, the only way I can access my Outlook Inbox is by logging into Internet Explorer via its icon, and not logging in via the MSN butterfly icon.  Interestingly, I also still have Spell Check while writing emails in Outlook when I log in via Internet Explorer.  Before I became unable to access email in my Outlook Inbox from My MSN, Spell Check had been missing again for a week or more.  All these problems AFTER having installed MSN Explorer 10.5, which was suppose to be better???   NOT AT ALL HAPPY ABOUT THIS...

Have Windows 8.  Had to use Mozilla Thunderbird because my internet, Cox service, was not compatible. Then downloaded Windows Essentials, & now want to use Windows Live Mail again. Thunderbird has email addresses LDIF contacts code, while Live Mail uses cvs contacts code. Now I want to download my LDIF contacts to Live Mail.  Is there a way to download my LDIF contacts to Live Mail & keep them in the separate Folders instead of downloading all email addresses into All Contacts & then having to put each one into separate Folders again.

When I am reading my email on Windows Live Mail, and I click on an email link with the intention of sending a message to the linked address, instead of my email opening, I get sent to MSN.com. I have no idea why and I would like to put a stop to this happening. I certainly did not make a decision to have this intrusion into my email habits. The same thing happens if I am on a web page and I click on an email like. Then I must go through the process of copying the email address, and pasting it to a message on Windows Live Mail. I feel as if MSN.com had hijacked my computer. Is it Malware or a virus?
Hi I recently had my iPhone restored and have forgotten my pass code and security question now my account is blocked I have filled in the form but stil they haven't got enough information. I desperately need it back as I have very important documents on there. Who can I speak to?
I have 5 email accounts. 4 were successfully transferred from outlook to windows live mail. I went through the process of requesting a new password for the 5th account and filled out a detailed form. After submitting the form I received no response from Microsoft. They are supposed to reply by email with instructions for the transfer. Help!
Received e-mail: "Outlook Team (*** Email address is removed for privacy ***) stating: "We detected a login attempt with valid password to your email using reset password option by answering the security Questions and Answers from an unrecognized device on Thurs, Aug 14 2013 2:27 PM BST"

Is this a legitimate warning of hacking into my e-mail?

How can I determine if my PC has been hacked?

What do I do next?

I have seen no change in the functions of my PC.

My e-mail is Hotmail--Outlook, and my internet provider is Comcast.

Thank you.

I am signed on for live.com.  I thought the mail provider was going to be dropped and we were supposed to sign up for outlook.com.  I did - with a different name.  Now I get 2 emails for everything, regardless of the name  used.  Annoying.  Can I stop this without messing something up?   (I and technologically challenged, so, please, keep it simple.)
