I have Windows 10 and November update and I use Live Mail. (Probably c 2011). I can not find the list of contacts. They are there somewhere because when I start to send an email, suggestions of the address come up OK. I have had a message to this effect when I click on Contacts: "You are about to import Windows Address Book Contacts" followed by an note to say I have received the - but there is nothing imported.
I am missing a trick here can you please advise me? Thanks Ian, Northumberland
I receive the error message below when I try to upload photos from Photo Gallery to Facebook. Can any one help?
"API calls from the server require an appsecret _proof argument (145)"
I got the message below in one of my Outlook.com inboxes. The last time this happened, in 2013. WLM deleted thousands of my precious old emails, causing me huge personal stress, business and other serious issues, even removing them from my hard drives. I had recycled all my old computers, so couldn't even retrieve them from there. The whole idea of using a "cloud based" service is that it provides safe, reliable permanent storage - which I was and am paying for, and am happy to continue paying for. It almost gave me a stroke last time - I lost important documents and photographs forever, because I relied on Microsoft. I still do. WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT? Is this for real?
If I follow their recommendation and go to the Windows 10 Mail app, which I have already tried on one computer, it does not transport over the thousands of messages in my folders. I tried syncing a couple manually, and it did not work. Is Microsoft going to blow up my life again, and kill me with this stress?
If I back up the AppData storage file folder that supposedly holds all the messages onto a new external drive, if WLM doesn't work, it will probably delete it the moment I try to connect the drive, or it will not be usable.
Here is the message. I did not, and will not click on the link or update anything until I have reasonable assurance that it won't destroy my files again, and then go sync out every machine that has the messages stored.

I got an e-mail that there were going to be changes in Windows Mail with the following directions:
In order to continue using Windows Live Mail 2012 to send and receive email for your account, you need to install the latest update published here.
When I tried to install the latest update, I got the following message: "The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch."
What do I do now?
I am using Windows 10 but still have Office 2010.
Thanks for any suggestions you may have!
