Windows Live Mail FAQ
Original title: Outlook Mail.
I have Outlook live essentials 2011. I have been informed that I need to upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 7 to continue to receive mail. (Or service will end in a few weeks)
My problem is I'm being told by Microsoft that my desktop computer is not compatible with Windows 10. I'm currently using Hotmail and Gmail with Outlook 2011 live essentials. Any suggestions for a mail server?
Original title: Photo Gallery
How do I back up my photos from Photo Gallery onto an external hard drive using Windows 7? Also, will it save all my tags?
My father in law has one e-mail account (with TalkTalk) for which he has been using Live Mail for several years. It has recently started to download each e-mail from the server several times. This morning there were 15 e-mails on the server (checked on TalkTalk Webmail) but Live Mail had dowloaded 253 when I stopped it. It appeared to be heading to download 6350!
Can anyone help with a fix, please?
I am presently on Windows 7 - delaying the UPGRADE. I just got a message from Microsoft saying Windows Live 2011 will be going away and I need to change my email. I like having all my email in one place rather than individual log ins. I see there's a Windows Live 2012 being used but can't find the download. Is it available for Windows 7 users?
Microsoft is trying to force us to upgrade to '10' but I am in no hurry and would like to continue to use LIVE for email but need some help. Any ideas/solutions for me?
Thanks,
CK
I logged into my windows live mail account earlier with no problem. I then saw Microsoft email saying that Windows Live 2011 is not supported anymore and to use Outlook.
I had already set up Outlook so decided to log on to make sure I could still log on ok.
I logged onto one of my email accounts with no trouble.
When I tried to log onto my second email account it asked for verification and sent a code for me to verify the email. I used the code and am able to access the Outlook email account but I cannot access my emails through Windows Live Mail.
I reset my password when prompted password but this hasn't worked and I just keep getting 'Microsoft account unusual activity sign in activity', error code Ox80048821.
My other account is still accessible through Windows Live.
I prefer to sign in through Live Mail as it is more convenient - all my email boxes are displayed but in Outlook you have to log into each account separately.
Can anyone help please - I have selected the Outlook category as there is none for Live Mail

I received this E Mail today. I already have an outlook.com account. What I am wondering is how can I get all of my saved E-mails in Windows live mail saved to a folder I can obtain later. I have several from 4 different E-mails? Below is a copy of the E-mail I recieved this morning

I am a senior citizen and am thoroughly confused with all the changes with Microsoft and its various programs. I was told Windows Live will no longer exist and that I must use Outlook.com. I signed into this by have no idea as how to get into it - is there a shortcut that I can put on the Taskbar?
Now I am concerned that Microsoft Security Essentials will be discontinued, if so, what can I use to replace it?
I also keep getting a reminder to upgrade by computer from Windows 7 to Windows 10. At this stage in life I do not look forward to trying to learn a whole new technical program as I am finding that these get more complicated and harder to understand. Why can't I keep using my Windows 7?
I liked Microsoft years ago as I was able to get a computer at a reasonable price and found working it not that hard, but, as time goes on your products get more complicated and harder to operate and understand. I realize the world is changing and understand the need for updating, however, is there not a place for those of us who do not have multiple gadgets and have smart phones etc. I have no need for these items? Just wish someone out there would listen!
