Bug in Windows Live Mail 2012 when replying – modifies the subject

28. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: ,

Hello


In Windows Live Mail 2012 (desktop application), if you reply to a message which has a subject starting with "Re:" and containing 2 or more colons, WLM deletes a word from the subject.


For example, if I received an email with the subject "Re: Tip: Test", when replying to this message, Windows Live Mail modifies the subject automatically to "Re: Test".


Clearly this messes up grouping messages by subject and has been causing lots of trouble to us trying to locate previous replies to certain messages.


Has this bug been reported before? Is there an official channel to report it to and get it fixed?


Thanks

Skydrive problems in Windows 8.1 RTM

16. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,

Hello, I've started using Skydrive, after Microsoft annihilated Live Mesh and bought additional storage, just to see that Microsoft is cutting down (again) the functionality I paid for.

 

Now in Windows 8.1 there is no Skydrive Desktop application, just system shell. I find the concept really nice, but it works awful and doesn't support any of my use-cases. I am thinking of switching a cloud provider, but before that I would like to ask some questions about the "new" skydrive.

 

1. Will I be able to create a Skydrive on another drive than C: (will it be supported)?

2. Will I be able to use symbolic links to synchronize any folder I want?

3. Is there going to be any dashboard to resolve syncing issues besides that crappy one in the Skydrive modern app?

4. Why skydrive application is better on MacOS and is so terrible on the newest Windows 8.1? Why do You neglect users who actually buy Your products?

5. If I'm not satisfied with the future product, is there any way I can get my money back?


Note - I'm using Windows 8.1 RTM, not preview.

My SkyDrive is not syncing

14. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,
Hello fellow SkyDrivers :o)

I have a 57GB account with SkyDrive on a Windows 8 Professional (64-bit) PC. I have 10.4 GB in my SkyDrive folder, and it is currently stuck at 3MB syncing (see image below):

I have tried removing the SkyDrive desktop application and removing the SkyDrive folder, and then reinstalling the SkyDrive application, but the same issue remains. The contents of the SkyDrive log files: (1) SkyDrive.exe.err.2013-09-13-225224.870, (2) SyncDiagnostics, (3) NEWDELL.dev=0.2013-09-14.0000.5132-4, and (4) SkyDrive.exe.reg.2013-09-13-225224.854 are available at http://sdrv.ms/1bfPs7g

Can anyone help? I have no idea here.

Thank you,
Eamonn

Remove all contacts in Outlook.com (LinkedIn)

23. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , ,

I had my email *** Email address is removed for privacy *** connected with LinkedIn.  I now have over 2000 contacts, and it has made Windows Live Mail (the desktop application) unusably slow.

 

I asked Microsoft to disconnect LinkedIn, which they did, but I still cannot find a way to delete all of the contacts.

 

How can get ALL contacts removed from my @live.com email account?

 

Thanks

SkyDrive Pro back to regular SkyDrive?

17. July 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,

I synced to SkyDrive Pro (SharePoint) and want to disconnect it and get back to synching my regular SkyDrive associated with my live id.  How can I do this?  I have tried reinstalling the desktop application and it continues to connect to Pro and I can't find any place to configure it otherwise.

Also, from the browser, SkyDrive says "sorry but skydrive can't connect to MarkW". 

I am currently running Windows 8.1.

Thanks,
Mark

Sync outlook.com webmail Outlook 2011 on Mac

23. December 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , ,
I have just purchased Office 2011 for Mac. I have an outlook.com webmail address that I want to access via this desktop application.

Having searched online I cannot believe what I read, that I cannot sync my existing email folders with my desktop version of Outlook? If this is the case then I guess I will have to set up a gmail account instead... but surely this cannot be true? Outlook will not synch with outlook.com ??

Any suggestions for how to get this to work would be much appreciated!
