Windows Live Mail FAQ
I received an email from Microsoft that my version of Windows Live Mail 2012 sould not work in a few weeks unless I upgrade to a newer version. However, when I click on the link to get the newer version I get this message "Something went wrong and we can't sign you in right now. Please try again later."
Any Suggestions?
Hello,
I am unable to send or receive emails through my account, when I check for emails using send and receive, this message occurs:
Windows Live Mail is synchronising this account. Check again in a few minutes to read your messages.
Unable to send or receive messages for the Hotmail.co (ursulaallam) account.I have an outlook account and the windows live mail I am using is an app but I also have a normal outlook mail app which I think could be my default mail program. I currently have Windows 10.
I bought a Surface 3 when they first sold in May. I loved the unit until I downloaded Widows 10. Ever since then I have had nothing but problems, most of which have been resolved except one - Email. Can the mail program within Windows 10 be replaced with Live Mail 2012 - it works.
Thank you,
Don
How can I purchase upgrade to get Outlook as it not part of the Office 2011 for Macs for Home and Student? I was told I need to speak with someone from Microsoft Store to request Outlook for Mac, but the call transfer didn't work.
I am constantly getting the following message on my iMac for Outlook for Mac 2011.
Outlook cannot find the server. Verify the server information is entered correctly in the Account Settings, and that your DNS settings in the Network pane of System Preferences are correct.
Also whenever I open Outlook a window appears asking me to enter my password again and also check a box linking it to keychain. This happens every time I open Outlook for Mac 2011.
I received a cryptic email from Outlook.com support on Dec. 11. The opening paragraph reads as follows:
"In a few weeks, we will be making some changes to our email services that might impact your @outlook.com, @hotmail, @live, or @msn email account. Those changes will prevent your email from being delivered to the Windows Live Mail 2012 application you use. "
I went to the update site:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/getstarted-set-up-email
and downloaded the update. The file is d-mail.msp.
I installed this file. Live mail crashed. I uninstalled Live Mail and reinstalled it using the original install file wlsetup-web.exe and the program then worked correctly.
I then installed some additional windows updates, restarted, ran d-mail.msp again. Again Live Mail crashed. Again I uninstalled it and re-installed using wlsetup-web.exe. and it now works perfectly.
I am running windows 10 professional on my desktop and two other computers which I support, and Win10 Home on my tablet. I have not experienced any problems with the Live Mail Desktop client on any of these machines.
I am totally baffled.
Is MS going to pull support from the Windows Essentials 2012 Live Mail Client and force us to use the native Win10 mail app?
If they are NOT going to pull the desktop client and I need the update, why does it crash a program which heretofore has worked perfectly?
Or is this update only for people running Pre-Windows 10 OS's?
I hope someone can explain what's going on.
I tried to install the update for Windows Live Essentials #KB3093594 and I got a drop down box that asked if I wanted to remove or repair Windows Live Essentials 2012. I clicked on REPAIR. Did I do the right thing? It does not give this information in the instructions.
Thank you,
TomS
