GROUPS – Create a Group Contact WITHOUT adding to existing Contacts List.

26. April 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: ,

My existing Contacts List are already large in number and I do not want to add to the list unnecessarily. As a Membership Secretary of a Group I wish to Create a Group Listing with all the members' email addresses in but I do not want to add all 80 plus names to the existing Contacts List I have as most of the 80 odd are not the people I would normally add to my Personal Contact List.

A work around appears to be is to list the emails in a word doc and highlight, copy and past into the 'To' 'cc' or 'Bcc' whenever I wish to email them - is that the simplest it gets or is there an easier way - I have Windows Live Mail 2011

All replies put in simple english (not too technical please) appreciated.

Windows Live Mail and Contacts List

13. April 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: ,

I have just installed Windows 8.1 and am using Windows Live Mail.  I have transferred my Contacts List from my previous (Windows XL) computer - and it now resides in the Contacts folder in Windows Live.

If sending new emails, how can I select names from  from the Contact list for the addressee (and CC and BCC) boxes ?

Can’t reply to senders not in Contacts List in Outlook 2010

13. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,

Hi

 

I recently installed Outlook 2010 and Windows 7 on my wife's computer, after upgrading her from Windows Mail and Vista. I imported her existing mail and contacts. The problem we now have is that when she tries to reply to an email received from someone not in her Contacts List, the attempt fails. She is able to click on the Reply button and type a reply message, but when she clicks on the Send button, a message pops up:

 

Check Names

MS Outlook does not recognise "xxxxx"

Select the Address to use

No suggestions

 

The only way to send the message appears to be to add the person to the Contacts list.

 

There are no problems in replying to a message received from someone in her Contacts list.

 

When I compare her messages to those in my installation of Outlook 2010 I note that I can right click on any name in a To: or From: box and can get the properties and hence the person's email address. With my wife's installation, when I right click on a name all I can see is Cut, Copy, Paste and Clear greyed out and Select in black and clickable. This may perhaps provide a clue to what the problem is.

 

Thanks to everyone in advance for their advice on solving this problem.

How can I find the solutions to the Lost Hotmail Contacts isssue?

30. March 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,

A couple of weeks ago I started getting l"ow memory warnings" but my Hotmail worked normally.  This morning I went to send an email and my entire Contacts List had disappeared.  I got the memory problem solved but cannot find a way to get my list of contacts back.  When I go to Contacts (People) I don't have any options, like manage, etc.

 

Is there anything I can do to recover my email contacts?

 

Thanks

What details. The question is a straight forward one. I can not see the Contact button on the side where it used to be before I switched over to Outlook

Why do email address show up with I click on To to send an email that aren’t in my Contacts List?

Since they're not in my Contact List, I can't delete them. Any ideas?
