Question about Outlook Express

I  HAVE HAD BAD PROBLEMS WITH WINDOWS LIVE MAIL 2012 SINCE UPGRADING FROM WINDOWS 7 SP1 TO WINDOWS 10 .

IT TAKES 15 MINUTES FOR  WLM TO START UP ,   AND  WLM  FREEZES  SOMETIMES ON ME AND  I  HAVE TO RE- START IT AGAIN AND WAIT FOR   IT TO OPEN AGAIN .   I  HAVE NOT SEEN ANY ERROR MESSAGES .  I  AND OTHER PEOPLE HAVE TRIED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEMS WITH NO SUCCESS .  I HAVE ALSO HAD MICROSOFT SUPPORT HELPING ME WITH THE PROBLEM , WITH NO SUCCESS .

I  HAVE PLAYED AROUND TRYING TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM FOR WEEKS SINCE  I  HAVE UPGRADED TO WINDOWS 10 , WITH NO LUCK AT ALL .  I  LIKE MY WINDOWS LIVE MAIL 2012 AND LIKE TO GET IT WORKING AGAIN PROPERLY AFTER USING IT IN WINDOWS 7 FOR YEARS . 

WHAT  CAN BE WRONG THAT  I  AM MISSING OUT ON  ?   I  AM ALMOST TEMPTED TO GO BACK TO WINDOWS 7 WHERE MY WINDOWS LIVE MAIL WORKED OK .

ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED .

When I try to use my categories, the name of the category appears in the To: line with a + in front of them. When I click on the +, to expand the category, the category disappears. If I add email addresses after the category name, the email goes only to the added addresses as if the category wasn't there.

I checked the "Sent mail" folder only to find that the email went to the added addresses only. What's happening and how do I correct the problem?

BTW I tried the same operation in my Office Outlook account and everything worked just fine. So the problem seems to be with the Live Mail Account only.

Hello,

I cannot initiate an emailing nor reply to or forward one. I have had this issue all of yesterday and today, 11/16/15 and 11/17/15. I have gone through numerous threads and taken the steps to uninstall and reinstall. Also tried the repair option via Programs and Features. Also tried a CMD run, esentutl.exe -d "%userprofile%AppDataLocalMicrosoftWindows Live MailMail.MSMessageStore" to defrag the Windows Live registry. Nothing works. Still receive the same error "problem occurred while trying to open this message". Never have I experienced this problem before. Have utilized WLM for a good 8 years. Nor have I had such a run around as to getting an problem resolved. So could you please help in this issue. It seems to be a problem dating back a few years as noted by some of the dates associated with threads. Running Windows 7 64 bit. Your assistance would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Ed.M.

I have successfully imported my Inbox messages to a Gmail account but only 9 Sent messages turned up. It seems that you need to have an IMAP enabled account to import Sent messages so I thought I would use Windows Live Mail to import them in case there was some sort of interference with the already partly-populated Gmail account. HOWEVER, when I try to import using WLM, I get a logon request for pop.tiscali.co.uk which has my Username filled in but asks for a password, which I have forgotten. Rang up TalkTalk who say they have NO access to that password (???!).

Please, can anyone help me before my transfer to another ISP takes effect and I lose all my old Sent messages?
