Question about Outlook Express

Hi,

having recently received the e-Mali from Microsoft regarding the updating of 'live' e-mail 2012,  can anyone tell me if we will still be able to pick up our mail on our iPads, as we are presently doing?

Ive updated both of my laptops to Windows 10.

Thank you

Andrew Collier

Dear Microsoft ,

Recently you send out a e-mail stating that people will need to update windows live mail 2012 because of server maintenance (KB3093594).

Sending/receving e-mails still work , but mails in the "sent" section of your inbox will be shown as a e-mail send to yourself. The information is still shown correct if you would login into outlook.com or open the mail.

UPDATED : other people have reported the same issue :

I have Windows Live.ca version 2009 for my email.  I'm being told by Microsoft that I will no longer be able to use this version.  How am I supposed to update the version and will I have to change my email account?

Thanks

I am using Windows Live 2012 abd and when I forward emails I sometimes get a message saying pictures will not be forwarded.  Why? and how do I forward all...

I have on my desktop a folder with 60.854 items in .eml-format, 5,59 GB.

In Windows Live Mail I have about 200 folders with on the average maybe 50 emails.

With the change from Outlook Express to WLM some four months ago and the change of hard disk and operating system to Windows 7 I had trouble to find out how to handle the new mailserver.

My problem now is the following. Most of the storage folders receive the moved emails alright, but ther is one batch of about fifty folders which all change a sent to them email to a standard content, while the time and sender of the email are kept alright.

I found already the advice to proceed as follows;

Depending on your version of the program, forcing a compaction of the database may help by re-indexing all your messages. This procedure is flaky, though, and may not work. Nevertheless, it's worth trying:

1. When viewing your message list, press Ctrl-Shift-O for Options.
2. On the Advanced tab, click Maintenance.
3. Select Compact the database on shutdown every... and change the number to 1.
   Close the options dialogue.
4. On the View tab, select Reading pane > Off to close it if it's open.  (This I failed to do!)
5. Click Work offline and disconnect from the network.
6. Disable any security software (e.g. anti-virus) that may be running.
7. Close down Windows Live Mail and leave it for several minutes. To be sure that you don't interfere with the process, start Task Manager (Ctrl-Shift-Escape) and wait until wlmail.exe disappears from the
   processes list before doing anything else.
8. Reboot the computer and check that your security software is running.
9. Launch Windows Live Mail again and try to view the messages that wouldn't display previously.

but that did not work.

I  am afraid the only straightforward solution is to replace all incorrect folders by new ones, applying a slight name  change.

Please, this gives me a headache already several days.

Hi. I was unable to open one important (unsent) email in my draft folder. A flag popped up saying "A problem has occurred while trying to open this message. A problem has occurred. Please try again." ... I googled this wording and found this post. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/forum/livemail-email/a-problem-has-occurred-while-trying-to-open-this/3b1b82dc-2543-416d-b8f1-9f0c1269d506?auth=1&rtAction=1450067816668

The reply to barry paton suggested that: "Mail.MsMessageStore file was corrupted. Please follow the steps below on how to repair the file:"   I did. Now I can't open my Windows Live Mail program. After several seconds of trying to open, a flag pops up: "Windows Mail could not be started. The application was unable to open the windows mail message store. Your Windows Mail mailbox data is currently being used by another program, such as a virus scanner. Close the program or wait for it to complete its operation, then open Windows Mail again. (0x800C0155,2)."

Now what? How do I open my Windows Live Mail program? Can I un-do or reverse the above CMD exe --  esentutl.exe -d "%userprofile%AppDataLocalMicrosoftWindows Live MailMail.MSMessageStore" -- if that would do it?

Your assistance is appreciated. Thanks. Gary
