Same as the title.

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.

Wins 7 IE9...today unable to create a 'top level folder' under inbox in Hotmail. I have had no problem previously, have about 6 top level folders. I am signed into windows live and hotmail correctly...all other functions work fine.

 

I have followd the procedures explicitly, even went to windows/hotmail help to recheck procedures, all correct.

 

The new folder, even though I click 'make it a top level folder' then hit the save button just above, the folder goes to alphabetical in the large inbox folder collection and since it is a T the folder is waaaaaaay down there but one I need/use frequently and want in top level folder section.....

 

first I click on 'gear' icon on folders, then either 'add a new folder' or 'manage folders' ...(neither gets the job done ultimately), then if manage folders used, I click new, then type in new folder name, then there is a single line below saying 'make it a top level folder (with a down arrow)...whether I click on make it a top level folder OR hit the down arrow showing the above option plus all folder names and THEN click on make it a top level folder, then hit save above it does not work! the folder goes way down in general folder list under T.

 

If I hit 'add a new folder' at start after hitting gear icon it takes me directly to type in new folder name box with the 'make it a top level folder with the down arrow, again regardless if I just click on make it a top...etc or first hit down arrow then select make it a top...etc then hit save, same thing! the new folder does not end up in the top level folder section where others previously created reside but way down in the Ts of inbox alphabetical! 

 

What is going on, thanks....Roger

When I make my acount for alternative adress I put adress of my friend. And now that adress is changed and when I send a code I cant pick another way to back my acount. This is my other acount but I want my old. What I gonna do?
I get the message" Connection to server failed." Messages never go out.  My connection has not failed.  I send messages through Yahoo and gmail just fine.  There must be some way to make a connection with Windows Live but I can't find it.  I can't send photos from Windows Gallery which is frustrating also. Any advice is appreciated.

The title pretty much says it all.

What I want to do is every time I open WLM in Windows 7 2011, I would like it to default to my "IN BOX". I had WLM set up that way at one point, I put it on line on how to do it and someone sent me the steps to follow, unfortunately WLM does not do that any longer it has reverted back to opening up on whichever folder it was on when I log out of WLM. I also have misplaced or thrown out the instruction on how to perform the task in question.

So if someone could send me those instructions again I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you
