Windows Live Mail FAQ
Original title: How do I make larger the fonts in the inbow of windows live
I would like to make the fonts in the inbox of my windows live mail larger, I can read them but I have to get quite close, after all I'm 78, so help me out, THANK YOU, LESTER
Using Windows Live mail, I can receive email from my sbcglobal.net and gmail accounts, but when I click on Create email I get "A problem occurred while trying to open this message". I have removed and reinstalled Windows essentials, and Repaired them with no luck.
Original title: Mail 'send' fails (receive OK) ever since installing a Docsis 3 cable modem
Installation of the modem (Zoom 5341J) yesterday was no-problem, and all works exactly as before on my Win7 (64bit) ... except Win Live Mail refuses to send any messages. There were no software or configuration changes. The error message is:
The connection to the server has failed.
Subject 'windows email test'
Server: 'smtp.comcast.net'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E
Protocol: SMTP
Port: 25
Secure(SSL): No
Socket Error: 10013
Comcast is no help.

I set up a new email account for my elderly mother in law in Windows 8 Live Mail. I am not familiar with this program. When I hit "Send/Receive" I get a box asking for a password. The password I used to set up the account does not work. Nor does the one in the password slot when the box comes up. It seems to want the password to the incoming server. I've tried everything and cannot find a way to show the password within the Windows Live program. It is not the password for the default account either.
I'm not sure why a password is required at all since I did not set up that security. The box does not give me an option for a forgotten password. Even if it did, it would want to send it to her e-mail address, which is not receiving emails.
Help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I use the Windows Live Mail 2012 interface for my Outlook account.
I retain selected undeleted older mail in a series of folders some labeled "2008 Keep", "2009 Keep", "2010 Keep", "2011 Keep", "2011 recover", "2012 Current", "2013 CURRENT", and other various named folders. I wanted to correct the name of the "2012 Current" folder to "2012 Keep". I also tried to move some messages to its correctly named folder.
It is possible that I may have acted before all messages were moved, but in the process of dragging a folder I inadvertently dropped it and created a subfolder. I do not recall the subsequent sequence of actions, but I did delete a folder after dragging the contents to another folder and verifying that the incorrect folder was empty.
Now I see that I have lost the folder named 2012 Keep with all its contents. The folder existed earlier today, and it contained messages received in 2012.
Interestingly, on a laptop which I disconnected from the network before starting I have all the 2012 Keep folder with contents with contacts apparently intact as it was used and updated a few days ago. I somehow have to restore the recent folder contents back to the Outlook server or possibly transfer the from my laptop back to the server in some way without corrupting the send dates.
I receive my email from my Cox.net webmail account and these emails are automatically forwarded to my new Windows Live Mail email account. Ever since upgrading to Windows 7 Home Premium and the new use of Windows Live Mail for email, I continuously receive duplicate emails from various senders. When I check my webmail account at Cox there are no duplicate emails listed. Somewhere in the forwarding process either transmitting or receiving emails are being duplicated. Cox has checked all the error possibilities on their end and believe this is a Microsoft problem. Can anyone help with this problem?
thanks, SoonerSlim
