Lost Contact List

07. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,

I have a friend who had to move to Win8 due to his PC burning out. He successfully moved all his data from the old drive to the new system including his Windows Live Mail and including his contacts and all was well for a couple of months. Now all of a sudden he has lost his Contacts - the whole thing is blank. Unfortunately he cannot pinpoint exactly when the loss may have been incurred but equally he cannot recollect any particular problem with his email setup that could possibly have been related to the loss.

 

He is running Win8 and Windows Live Mail Version 2012 (Build 16.4.3508.0205) so its pretty up to date. He does not have a hotmail.com or similar Microsoft email address, but a Yahoo one and another local ISP supplied web mail one. Both of these are included in the Windows Live Mail list of accounts and are synched with all the time. We believe the Contact list (including Groups) was stored on the local machine however despite being able to find lots of contacts.edb files we have so far been unable to determine which one might be the 'lost' one.

 

Given the above configuration can anyone point us at where we should look to find what we think must have been a locally stored contacts file, so that hopefully we can somehow point WLM to it again?

Sending an email to a Contact Group

07. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , , ,

I'm running Windows Live mail 2012 Build 16.4 on Windows 7 Home Premium.

 

If I go into Contacts and then right click on a Group (or Category?) I get options to Edit, Delete and Create a Category (same as Group I guess?). I also see an option for sending an email (presumably to the Category or Group). However this option is always greyed out and cannot be selected.

 

Can anyone shed any light on why this option should be greyed out? or is this a programming bug and the facility is not available?

Thanks you in advance for any helpful comment.

Is this an issue or how can I resolve this please.

Hi all.
I've tried fixes on this site and none have worked.
I'm running windows 8 Pro.
The program I'm using is windows live mail part of essentials.
Everything was working good then I started getting this error.

Unable to send or receive messages for the Phaty account.
 
Server Error: 0x80072EFD
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x80072EFD.

I formatted and reinstalled windows 8 Pro.
Still same problems.
I have one other email and it works fine in windows live mail.
The app in windows 8 will sync the Phaty account.

safe attachments erroneously being blocked as dangerous

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

I use Windows Live Mail as my e-mail.   Suddenly, the past 2 weeks, my computer has begun to label as "dangerous file type" about 80% of my attachments.  I KNOW these are not dangerous - it even blocked an attachment I sent to myself!

 

The only advice Microsoft gives is to allow ALL attachments - opening my computer up to viruses.  Obviously, this is not a solution.

 

Can I do something to stop my computer from suddenly having begun this annoying practice?  Not sure if "settings and personalization" is the correct topic for this question, but am taking a chance.  I use Norton as my security - in case this has anything to do with the problem.
