- Verified settings with hosting company, all were correct
- Removed and re-added the account. It will connect to the server and redownload all messages up until the time that the issue started occurring.
- Accessed webmail and deleted the last couple messages that came in before it stopped working and the message after it stopped working as well.
- Ran virus scan
- Ran a repair on Windows Essentials
- Removed and reinstalled Windows Essentials
- Retest, same issue
- Installed Thunderbird to see if it was my computer or Windows Live Mail. Thunderbird worked perfectly fine, no issues, no errors.
- Did a COMPLETE removal of Windows Essentials including registry keys, etc etc etc
- Reinstalled Windows Essentials
- Set it back up and experienced the same issue.
- Removed the account
- Readded using SSL/TLS settings. IT WORKS! The only issue is that I don't have an SSL/TLS certificate so I get an error message whenever I open the program.
- Went back to no SSL/TLS, same issue occurred.
So at this point, it is 100% confirmed after several discussions with my hosting company as well as HP that this is an issue with Windows Live Mail. For whatever reason, with the correct settings it WILL NOT connect to my IMAP server without SSL/TLS turned on. Which is a pain because I get an error message any time I close/reopen the program.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
I'm using Windows Live Mail 2012 on a Windows 8 system. When I email photos to a recipient, WLM creates a SkyDrive album (i.e., a SkyDrive folder) which contains the photos being sent, as well as an email message with a link to that SkyDrive folder. As part of the link in the email, WLM includes a statement that reads similar to the following example:
=====
"This album has 2 photos and will be available on
SkyDrive until 12/13/2013."
=====
I noticed another user on this forum ("boatcristan2") posting a question similar to mine. He received a reply from Moderator "Levi_I." which read, in part, as follows:
=====
"There is no longer an expiration period for uploaded files via the web SkyDrive, the SkyDrive desktop app or from your moble device will never be deleted. There are only two cases where a file will expire or be available in a limited fashion:
A. If you're using Live Mail client, photo mail feature files transferred here will expire in 90 days unless the owner of the pictures goes to the web SkyDrive and extends the expiration. Here are the steps to do this:
1. Login in to your web SkyDrive then open the uploaded folder.
2. You will notice the yellow banner found on top showing the expiration date.
3. Click Change clean up settings.
4. Choose you preferred expiration settings then click Save."
=====
I tried to follow these instructions; but, unfortunately, when I login to SkyDrive and open the uploaded folder, there is no yellow banner showing at the top of the folder, and there is no indication of any expiration date. There is also no button or option available to "Change clean up settings".
So, I have two questions:
1. If there's no yellow banner, does that mean that the SkyDrive folder has no expiration date (despite what WLM says)?
2. If there really is an expiration date, then how do I change it (since there's no button labeled "Change clean up settings"?
I have also noticed that a bunch of Facebook contacts, in a new folder, has been added. Without my expressed permission.
I'm ready to go back to Outlook, but I can't get to my Contacts to save the data.
Help!
For me, Windows Live mail is too complicated, especially since I did not find any "Help" buttons. Some time ago I used Outlook Express and I liked it. My question: Does Outlook Express work with Windows 7? If yes, what do I have to do to get started? From what website can I download Outlook Express? What comes after?
I know, a lot of questions, but it would help me a lot if you could just possibly answer I or 2 of the questions. My email address is *** Email address is removed for privacy ***
