New install last week on Windows 8 - new PC  Live Mail 2012 worked 1 day then when I click link to Live Mail ( 3 different icons) I see message "checking for new messages - names  for my wife and I.  Pop up on screen said executing for over 24 hours and  we could not get into it so tried using Task Mgr to End process and even tried re downloading but the process seems to be stuck and no known way to get it fixed.
WHY CAN'T WE FORWARD ANYMORE?
I had some issues when I added email accounts and had to delete and re-add my Gmail account.  Now, despite having only two email addresses, I have three in boxes, so my left navigation looks kind of like this:

Inbox
-Blog Emails
-Old Gmail
-New Gmail

I'd like to delete Old Gmail as it's inactive and a waste of space, but it can't be moved to the trash nor can you delete it from the top menu bar. Is it basically stuck there?

Thanks!
RE: NEW HOTMAIL/OUTLOOK --

when in an individual email, the reading box is formatted entirely too small.  how can i increase the size of the viewing/reading box?

also, if i increase the font, i lose a lot of viewing data.  any suggestions?

thank you!!

I just bought an new iMac and Office: mac2011 and I'm in the trial mode for the software.  No problems so far with Outlook connections to mail server, but Outlook won't let me create a new folder to store emails.  When I go to Help or New, other options are available but Folder remains in shaded grey, ie. not an option to open a new folder.

I've tried putting Outlook into Offline mode, but this doesn't help.
HOW TO I GET BACK TO MY OLD HOT MAIL......I HATE THIS NEW STUFF!!!
I used to be able to forward an email ( in Hotmail) and delete name , subject matter , etc of attached email. New 2012 Hotmail/Outlook combines all same subject matter emails and I can no longer delete prior emails from being forwarded...only solution I have found is to switch to GMAIL.
I'm recieving a lot of mail in the Junk mail that I don't want, but there also some mail in the junk that I want to keep I'm not quite sure how to use  RULES FOR SORTING NEW MESSAGES, I'm afraid I might lose the mail I want to keep. Can anyone help Thankyou Sam
