I am currently using Windows 8.1 & Windows live mail 2012.

Every month I backup my emails using WLM with no problems.

When I tried this yesterday (and many times) it only backs up a part of it and especially not including the storage folders which is the main area that I want backed up.

Anybody come across this problem?

I have the  error message on my windows live mail account 0x801941F7. I cant send and receive emails.please tell me how to  fix!!!

I now have an additional error 0x8DE20007

I have to use the restore function on my Windows 8.1 computer due to some missing or corrupted files.  That being said, i am preparing for the event by backing up some things I expect to loose.

When trying to export my e-mail files, after making a folder on the desktop to export to, no matter what I do, the best it exports is one random file from what ever Live Mail folder I choose to export.

I have tried exporting all the folders as well as selected ones with the same result each time.

I have also been sure to follow on line instructions to the letter.  Still the same.  Others have complained about the same problem but as of yet, no suggestions have worked.

Any further ideas.  i was even thinking of downloading Live Mail on top of itself to see if that does the trick.

Thanks   Bob

Hi, I've created 2 children accounts with their own e-mail, etc.  However when I try to log in on my kids tablets with them, is asking to activate them with the parent account.  Once I log in with my account, it takes me to a page to load my US credit card information in order to confirm that I'm an adult... the problem is that I live in Canada and have not US card, my settings are correct and indicate my country as Canada. 

I've recreated the children accounts 3 times so far thinking I did something wrong, but now I'm certain that their country is set as Canada.   Does this mean that the family accounts don't work outside of the US?

Please advise, this is very frustrating.

Thank you,

Sonia

I recently updated to Windows 10 on my desktop pc.

Now, as soon as I type www.live.com, my email opens without me having to enter any User Name or Password.

This is not what I want: the desktop pc is for use by anyone in the household - but I don't want my children, or house guests, being able to read my emails.

How do I set up my email so that I have to enter a User Name and a Password, before my emails (and Calendar, Address Book, Contacts) can be accessed?

I have tried the 'repair' option.  I says there is an issue but gives no clues as to how it might be fixed.

Just trying to 'repair all WLE programs' as I found online as one thing to do.  Said lost internet connection and Cancel/retry. trying to retry but just seems to sit there at the moment even though I have been able to go to this page? Any ideas?

P.S.   Also changed port to 587 as found on web...still same result, just different server error

Hi there,

Coming straight to the issue:

I'm using Windows 7 64 bit OS and Microsoft Office 2007, I can't open excel (.xls / .xlsx) attachments directly using windows live mail.  If I download and save the attached excel file then I can open it.

Need any kind of suggestion and help regarding this issue.

Thanks.
