Windows 8.1 [Build 9431] Skydrive, modern UI. Click icon on start screen, goes to full screen skydrive icon then returns to start screen.  Have rebooted several times.  Its only on this machine and only since yesterday
I recently got a new Microsoft account and am able to log into skydrive; outlook.com etc but not to Windows Live Mail 2012!  It says incorrect password or e-mail address....I have changed the password five times and no luck.  have performed updates etc on the program.  Funny thing though...my husband can access Windows Live mail no problem with his e-mail and password.  What am I doing wrong or what do I need to do to fix this!

I am lost on how to get help with lost e-mail,  the e-mail is @live.ca    and during the swirch over I have loast this address with my contacts and e-mails.

 

who do I contact and how?

 

How am I contacted?

I just saw a message generated by my account pop up to suggest I "friend" one of my contacts on facebook,  There wasn't a way to close the daran thing and it covered up the arrows that let me go to the next page of messages.:(  When I searched support, I came across the following:
"If you disconnect, we will no longer receive the list of your friends on Facebook or the people you follow on Twitter and they'll be removed from your contact list."  I don't want to get updates on Outlook that I already see on facebook and twitter, with the exception of email alerts i specifically signed up for on those accounts' settings.  However, I DON'T want Outlook to arbitrarily start removing people from my contact list just because I don't want my accounts all connected and some of my contacts are also friends.  Am I misunderstanding what might happen if I don't want to join in the connect everything everywhere?  Any information that will help clarify this will be greatly appreciated!

I don't know what happened one day I just noticed that my phone wasn't connecting to my email.  I reinstalled my email address to my phone and would always say I had no messages if I refreshed it. So I went to my PC and accessed the my email and I noticed a POP folder under the deleted folder.  I opened it and all my new email was in it.  After days of trouble shooting I still can't figure out what's wrong.  I stopped synching this email to my phone and my mail still goes to the POP folder.  I also went to the POP/Forwarding options and tried both options. None of them worked.

Tried posting this before, but it didn't seem to work, so trying again.

 

In the SkyDrive web app, I'm trying to create a group, but I don't have the option to do so.  I have the following categories on the left side:

 

Files

Recent docs

All Photos

Shared

PCs

 

From what I've seen online, there should be a Groups option, usually between the Shared and PCs options.  I don't have this option.  How am I supposed to create a group if the Groups option doesn't exist?  There are even videos on YouTube showing how to create groups under the Groups option, without any previously created groups, nor did they have to go to http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-live/groups-create-group to create their first group to make the option available.

I would prefer not to use google apps, but I am looking for an email solution as close to what google apps offers for our small non-profit organization. Google apps is free for a 501c3 organization. Does Microsoft or a Microsoft partner provide a similar offering?
Why can't I choose which security measure I want????  I want the question....it wants my phone number & won't take anything else.... Idon't want my phone number given out....\

About 6 months ago (estimated) and before that, in Skydrive, when we uploaded photos, we could check or uncheck a box to tell Skydrive to upload the original file or to upload a smaller (compressed ?) file.   The smaller file was big enough to provide a nice photo on a computer screen and to print 5x7 type photos.

 

I do not see that option now.

 

Do we have to upload the original file photo size ?

 

My camera uses about 4 MB for each photo file.

OK.

But I do not need to save that on Skydrive.

About 1 MB seems fine to me.

 

Thanks.
