Question about Outlook Express

I have just completed the migration from WLM to Microsoft Office Outlook. We did this as Microsoft will not support WLM from 2017.  We chose Office Outlook as the functionality in the new Microsoft Mail leaves much to be desired.  Note that functionally of the process is governed by WLM.

Suggest it is in Microsoft's interest to fix these as I'm sure many more will be exiting WLM.

We followed the process outlined in:  https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/kb/980534

There are a couple of bugs that we discovered, and some aspects which need clarification.

1. The size of the email folders can cause the migration to fail.  There is no finite way to find out what the limitation is at present, the best we could do is trial and error, by splitting the size of the larger folders.

2. Also some sub-folders names are corrupted, not the end of the world as enough is left to determine what the original folder name was.

We also found that in transferring contacts the email addresses weren't copied across, unless we selected additional options (item 11) and explicitly selected/mapped the field.

Hope (i) this helps folks, and (ii) persuade MS that it is in their interest to sort these bugs.

I have been using photo gallery for about 6 months . I have a lenovo computer with

windows 7. After i have imported my photos from my Kodak Easy share i am prompted

to organize,edit and share my photos with Photo Gallery. No problem until the last group of photos.

I get an unable to ad photos to gallery message.  I am unable to even find the photos I just took 

on my computer to place in my E-Bay ads.  I was thinking that the   Photo Gallery 

software i have might have been a trial that ran out. Do i have to pay for this service

or is it free?  Thanks a lot for your help!  Carol Ferguson

I have started getting an error message saying can not connect to live mail callendar

I am working on a Windows 10 PC, and use Windows Live 2011 to manage my email, contacts and calendars.  Until the morning, all was working fine.  Now when running WinLive 2011, I get the message "There was an error when attempting to connect to the Windows Live Calendar service. If the error persists, check to see if there's an upgrade of Windows Live Mail available or contact a service representative."

I don't understand what I need to do to get this running again the way it was, if that's even possible.  I don't want to lose the PC interface.  My email account is IMAP, yet this still does not work.  What am I missing?  I really rely on this interface to work with my email and calendars.  If I decide to use the Mail program that comes with Windows 10, is there a way to store emails offline folders, and contacts and other items offline as well?

Thank you!
