Windows Live Mail 2011 Send & Receive Error

27. May 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , , , , , , , ,

I use Windows Live Mail 2011 on W7 Home Premium.  I have 4 POP3 and 2 IMAP accounts.

I am getting a a popup window indicating errors have occured, but no errors listed. The bottom status shows 5 of 6 Tasks were completed. When I click the tab to show "Tasks", 5 of the 6 accounts have status of complete and one account has no status. The account with no status is a POP3 account.  This occurs when Live Mail is doing a background "Timed" Send and Receive.

What I have tried. If I click the Send and Receive Button, all accounts complete without error.  If I use the Send and Receive pulldown and select the single account having the problem, it completes the Send and Receive without error.  I have done this hundreds of times without a failure. It only happens with the timed automatic Send and Receive.

If checked and double checked all account settings. All POP3 accounts have identical settings and all access the same POP3 server.  Both IMAP accounts have identical settings and are both GMAIL accounts.

I exported all email messages and deleted the account getting the error.  Rebooted the computer, loaded email, and let it run through several automated Send and Receives.  No error happened.

I recreated the account and the error returned.

Next, I tried rearranging the order of accounts in the left window.  No effect.

After rearranging account order, I once again deleted the account, rebooted etc.

Recreated the account and changed account order at the same time.  The account started working correctly, but Oh boy....

One of the IMAP accounts now now has the same problem!

This installation has been running without failure for about a year. The only clue I can think of is an experiment with "Picture" settings recently. Being annoyed by Live Mail's handling of pictures received in email when I forward.  I turned on the option for Coverting Photos to Photo emails. Used that for awhile to test and turned that option off.

Any experiences or suggestions?

 

Thanks!

 

How can I copy Windows Live Mail e-mail folder from one LAN W7 machine to another W7 machine

23. May 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , , , , , ,

I am replacing my wife's old XP machine with a new W7 machine.  I use Windows Live Mail for my e-mail. I plan to use Live Mail for her machine, too. The two machines are LANed via a cable router.

I would like to copy one e-mail folder (with some seventy messages in it) from my machine to hers without having to copy my own (huge) collection of messages to her new machine. Can this be done? How? (I can do this, I suppose, by forwarding each of the seventy messages, one at a time, to her machine. I'm looking for a simpler, more efficient way to do this.)

Many thanks, in advance.

I accidently deleted the trash folder from one of the accounts in my Live Mail (not the contents, the whole folder).  Now my Live Mail will not work at all.  I deleted the account and replaced it without effect.  The Error Messsage is:

Unable to send or receive messages for the Charter (ew22155)(1) account.  Header download for the 'Trash' folder did not complete.  Could not select 'Trash' on the IMAP server.  Try updating the folder list and then try again.  [I am unable to find out how to 'update the folder list;' adding a folder does not work].

Server Response:  The specified mailbox does not exist. [I can access it online.]

Server:  'IMAP.charter.net'

Windows Live Mail Error ID:  0x800CCCD2

Protocol:  IMAP

Port 143

 

Even as I keyed this message, I got a beep indicating incoming mail.  I checked and can now access my email (still no trash folder).  However, when I close and reopened Live Mail, I got the same message again  Tried sending a test mail from one account to the other; Windows Live Mail would not let it be sent.
