My hotmail live.com email suddenly went to Outlook Express  - I do not want Outlook, and I do not want the "suggested adds" section that accompanies this.  I believe this happened when Chase Bank online started up for me today, and without informing me also connected to my cellphone.  I do not want tech clutter, and try to keep a clean system with only what I choose to use. 
The whole group contacts section has changed and I do not know now how to put more contacts in my groups which are in place already.

Greetings.

 

In another thread titled "Language Package, spelling check for Windows Mail 6.0", in response to the spellchecker problem of the Original Poster somebody suggested using Windows Live Mail because it supports more languages (37, it said, though it was a two years old thread). Around the Internet, I've seen that many people have trouble finding the options for changing languages and tutorials have been provided to show how to do that. However, in all those tutorials everybody seems to have dozens of languages in the list in the options panel for spellcheck, with those installed marked as such and those not installed but listed marked as "available".

 

My question is, why don't I have those options? I have used WLM 2009 under XP and 2011 under Seven, both English and Italian (my native language), and the first only comes with pre-installed English languages (variations for US, UK, Canada and Australia), and the second comes with the same plus Italian. But if I want to install Spanish or German, say, there simply is no option. The list is limited to those I've mentioned, the buttons to its side are all dimmed, the only choice I have is which one to set as the default. Why is that so? Why isn't there a way to install all those other languages? Or is this feature limited to the 2011 version only? And why would that be, since it's only available from Vista upwards and tons of people, businesses and administrations are still stuck with XP?


I've seen around a few tutorials to manually install languages by moving some files and editing some ini files, but first I'd need the actual files containing the languages I want to use, and I assume these should be available somehow through the MS Download site. Or am I supposed to download each localized version of the WLEssentials, pick it apart and extract the files on my own? Isn't there a more straightforward option?


Thanks in advance for any input on the subject, best regards.

As above in that the "sent section" of Windows Live Mail shows empty when I have sent mail.

My groups are no longer listed in my contact list.   I can go to the manage section and my groups are listed.  However managing just consists of deleting a whole group (no individuals identified) or adding a new one.  There is no information about how to get the groups back in the contact list.  Please help me with this.

I had phone numbers, addresses, etc, in the personal info with each email contact.  Now, that's all gone; it only shows the name and email address; does not give the option to add it back.
I am running Windows Live Messenger on Windows 7, and I have no sound.

When I go to the sounds section in options, it shows that I can mute all sounds, but the section underneath (messenger sounds) is completely blank!!

Please help!
I am trying to set up new contact groups, but they do not appear in the category section. Having deleted my original groups, I am at a loss what to do. Any suggestions?
I'm getting an error I've never seen before when I'm trying to connect via WM this morning. I'm getting the usual "We can't sign you in to Windows Messenger" error, but the error code is cffff82e, which neither Bing nor Google has been much help with. The only references I could find were a couple unanswered questions on the Brazil/Portuguese section of this site.

For example, I use Windows Live Mail and I have a hard time knowing whether my emails and/or storage folders are kept on my hard drive, "on the services", or both. Is there an easy way to determine this?
