I used to have spell check on my Hotmail when I was composing a new e-mail, but on my new computer, which has Windows 8, I no longer have spell check.  What can I do?

My Windows live Hotmail spell check id not working.  When I highlight the contents and press "spell check" button, a comment appears and says " Most browers checks spelling mistakes automatically.  Look for the words flaged with red line......" But it does not give any red line for even obvious mistakes.  I use Firefox as my browser.

I have a Windows XP computer and have installed Windows Live Mail, but I'm unable to spell check in any other language than English. I've looked under the options menu in Windows Mail, and the only languages installed are English (United States, United Kingdom, Australia & Canada). I'd like to be able to spell check in Danish (I live in Denmark). How do I install Danish into the mail programme?

The OS is English language version of Windows XP, with service pack 3.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hello, I wanted to check my sent messages file to verify the attachment sent with the email is the correct one.  Is there a place to view this?
Thank you
I am getting the message "...Please check you Mail Configuration...". Everything worked fine before, even sending eMail via Word, Excel, Powerpoint. Even after a complete delete of Office 2011 and a new installation it is not functioning any longer.  Steps to the error:

Menu: File ==> Share ==> eMail (as attachment)  (I had to translate it by myself because I am using German language - might be different at original english version)

Outlook start / pops up but nothing happens. Going back to the calling app (Excel, PPT, ...) shows Popup " Please check that your eMail program is correctly configured ....". 

I have checked that Outlook is the default eMail Program and I run the Database Utility Tool to re-build my Main Identity - still getting this error popup. 


What do the blue downwards pointing arrows next to the check boxes mean? Is there a printed list of all the symbols used in Hotmail?
Spell checker is keying in on the last few letters of words I KNOW are spelled correctly.  Have to back up and reenter last letter to get rid of it.  This has kicked in the past four days.  Closing hotmail and opening again (even after the laptop has been totally shut down or restarted) does no good.
Actually, I have the answer, just wanted to phrase the question to make it easier for people to find.  Hope it worked, lol!  Anyway, all you have to do is check the box to the left of the email where you want to start deleting messages.  Then, hold the shift button down and check the box of the last email in the group you are trying to delete.  You should now see the group of emails you are trying to delete highlighted in blue.  Now all you have to do is hit the delete button at the top!  This works great as long as there are no emails you intended to keep in the way of the ones you want to delete in the group. Otherwise, you'll have to start and stop this procedure between each email you intend to keep.  Hope this made sense! 
Good luck!!!  :)

Cannot find a way to reduce the Windows Live font size. It changed on its own from 10 point to 14 - 16 point about a week ago. One diagnostic check said "windows live file corrupted". Virus checks come up okay. System health listed as good. Anyone have any ideas?

With a group contact (or a plan contact), how can I send an e-mail to all adresses registered with each contact - not just the first one?

I can not see any setting matching this. I'd like for example a check box next to each e-mail in a contact to enable/disable using that particular e-mail address when creating an e-mail. Each contact can then have 0, 1, 2 or more e-mail addresses "active" for use.
