Hi.  We've upgraded to Windows 8 and have downloaded Windows Live Mail. Emails transferred over without a problem. HOWEVER, we have lost the capability of typing in email addresses and system pulling up all previous addresses, or indeed remembering after typing them in.  Is there a setting we have overlooked but cannot find?

Original title: windows live mail

I have 2x 3rd party email accounts mapped to Windows Live Mail:

 

1) NWlink.com (thru Infinity Internet), POP3 setup

2) Gmail.com, IMAP Setup

 

I can receive messages fine. 

Earlier this year WLM's ability to send just stopped.  I didn't change any settings prior to this happening.

 

I did some trouble shooting some months ago with no success.

 

Ideas anyone? 

I have Windows Live Mail 2012 and Windows 7. The WLM is not an upgrade--it's what came with Windows 7. I previously had Outlook Express and XP and could send to groups. Now I create a "category," for instance, of 14 members, and when I enter the group name into the "to" field, the program will send to only one member of the group. At first it sent to 3 members. I've tried everything I can think of and everything suggested online, including reparing Windows Essentials. Is this just a fatal flaw of WLM 2012, or is there a fix or work-around? It's really annoying to not be able to use the group function. I have only two groups, but I send to both of them frequently, and it's a major pain to have to look at my list  and enter each name individually each time. I thought of using a different e-mail client, but I used to use Thunderbird and had problems with that, and getting Outlook would cost about $100. (I have Microsoft Office 2010, but it's a version that didn't include Outlook.) If anyone can help me, I will be MOST grateful.
I have been dealing with this issue for a month now and nobody seems to care or want to know about it!  When I try to Send/Receive email, what I get is a flashing "Updating Calendar" which does not go away, I have been to forums and I have searched for answers and usually get some directions which I so far out of this world it is a shame some people actually believe their answers.

Are there actually some people who care out there?
