Problem importing Outlook Express folders into Windows Live Mail

19. December 2015 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail

I’m helping a friend import messages and addresses from Outlook Express into Windows Live Mail. There are several Outlook Express .dbx folders, including one called Folders.dbx. But Windows Live Mail doesn’t import all the .dbx folders, only three of them. Windows Live Mail gives you the option to select which .dbx folders to import, but it shows only three of them, even though there are others. None of the folders are designated as Read Only.

 

I also tried to import the Outlook Express files into Outlook 2010 running on a Windows Vista computer, but it didn’t find the .dbx files. Outlook 2010 doesn’t let you specify the location of the .dbx files and I don’t know where it expects to find them. I tried putting them in C:Users{user name}AppDataLocalMicrosoftOutlook Express, but that didn’t work.

Does anyone have a solution? Thank you.

I recently installed windows 10, tried to use the photo app to select pictures and send them off, but windows 10 doesn't work like the instruction manual says for windows 8'

I don't mind telling you that I'm not too quick on my computer skills. Some of the things that people can do in their sleep come hard for me, and of course there isn't an instruction manual to consult.

would really appreciate it if someone could tell me how to open the file once I've called it up, and how to select & send pictures.

Is the WLMail "Contacts" file saved in the "Documents" library ?  If not where is it?

Cannot send or receive emails

19. December 2015 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized

I am running with Windows 7, using Windows Live Mail 2012.

I have not been able to send or receive emails for the lasts 2-3 days.    When I send an email, including to myself, it appears to work ok (no error messages), but nothing is ever in the Sent Items or the Inbox.

From the Live Mail icon, I ran Troubleshoot Compatibility.   I got some screen that stated Incompatible Application, but gave no information on what was incompatible or how to fix it.

Prior to not begin able to send or receive emails (2-3 days ago), I would sometimes get the following error when I started up Live Mail:  WINDOWS LIVE MAIL ERROR ID:  0x80072EFD.    If I ended and restarted Live Mail, it usually started up normally.   I am not getting this error now.

Around this time, I also had a problem where Live Mail (or something) had the computer locked up where I could not end anything and could not power the desktop down (either with the power down option or the power button on the computer).   I had to physically pull the power plug.  When the system came back up and I started Live Mail, I got a message stating something like "an unexpected error occurred"  (not sure of the exact wording).  

Unless someone can tell me what to try, how do I reinstall Live Mail ?   Will I have to do some reconfiguring (email address, password, .....) afterwards ?

Since I am not receiving emails, I will check back here to see if anyone responds.

thanks

Windows Essentials 2012 for Windows 10 [URGENT]

19. December 2015 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized

For this high school project I have to create a movie using 'Windows Movie Maker'. I have Windows 10 and research told me to download 'Windows Essentials 2012' from the Microsoft website which includes Movie Maker.

I have downloaded it and it said something like:

'Windows Essentials 2012 has been installed. Click close to use Windows Essentials 2012'.

I clicked close and nothing happened. I tried searching for Essentials and Movie Maker in the 'Search the web and Windows' bar, but nothing apart from the option to reinstall.

I need to get this installed and any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

How can I troubleshoot Outlook hanging?

Split from this thread.

Well I am using the current version of MS Office for Mac 2011 and I get the spinning wheel with Outlook also.  I called MS Office and was told that if I paid for a support contract they could fix it.  Well I had one and actually gave them the data and they could not find it in their data base so they continued to be smart and ask for more money.  Mine is a university purchased copy and is supposed to have full support but I got none.  I sure wish I had some way to get in touch with management rather than IT folks who live elsewhere in the world.
