How do I get MSN.com to stop popping up when I click on an email link?

31. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags:
When I am reading my email on Windows Live Mail, and I click on an email link with the intention of sending a message to the linked address, instead of my email opening, I get sent to MSN.com. I have no idea why and I would like to put a stop to this happening. I certainly did not make a decision to have this intrusion into my email habits. The same thing happens if I am on a web page and I click on an email like. Then I must go through the process of copying the email address, and pasting it to a message on Windows Live Mail. I feel as if MSN.com had hijacked my computer. Is it Malware or a virus?

Can’t transfer a hotmail account from outlook to windows live mail

I have 5 email accounts. 4 were successfully transferred from outlook to windows live mail. I went through the process of requesting a new password for the 5th account and filled out a detailed form. After submitting the form I received no response from Microsoft. They are supposed to reply by email with instructions for the transfer. Help!

Transfer Windows Live Mail from an unbootable window 7 disk

31. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , ,
I originally have windows live mail 2011 on my windows 7 laptop. Unfortunately, when I try to upgrade the disk to the RAID, the system got destroyed and I cannot boot it any more (even after trying the window repair), but I still can access the disk via a USB enclosure. So I clean install the laptop again with a new disk and try to port all the windows live mail to the new laptop. Windows easy transfer won't work because I cannot boot the old win7. Is there any other method I can use beside create the accounts again in the new one and load the folders one by one from the old disk?

I cannot reply to an e-mail address containing an underscore.

I dread receiving an e-mail from someone who has an underscore contained in their e-mail address.  Whenever I attempt to send a reply, it fails to send and ends up stuck in my OUTBOX.  This happens whether I retype another e- mail, or reply using the original.   I am using Windows Live Mail, if that makes any difference !    Can anybody out there explain what is going on and ( hopefully) help me overcome this annoying irritant.

Add custom sort order

30. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags:

I use Windows Live Mail 2012 16.4.3505.0912 and when I sort by subject - it displays by reverse date order.  I'd like to be able to sort by subject and past to current date order. Is this possible and if so how please? 

 

I also see from FileHippo's Update Checker that Windows Live Mail 2012 (16.4.3508) is available.  Is there a place wherE I can see what is changed from ...3505 to 3508 please? 

Offline backup of Sent folder from outlook.com

30. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,

Does anyone have a neat way to backup the Sent folder from outlook.com? The Inbox can be copied easily to Windows Live Mail using POP3, but without IMAP I can't see any easy way to make an offline backup of the Sent folder.

 

I guess one possibility would be to bcc myself on all emails and then move emails from myself into a Sent folder in WLM with a rule, but I can't see any way to automatically bcc myself in outlook.com.

 

So does anyone know how to easily make an offline backup of the Sent folder?

Live Mail not synching with Outlook.com

30. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , ,

Using Windows 7 with Windows Live Mail, I can synch with my Gmail account.  It will accept incoming mail and send mail. However, my Outlook.com account will not synch at all with WLM.  I tries continuously to synch calendar, but never progresses. I have tried deleting the account from WLM and reinstating it.  The error I get is

 

Unable to send or receive messages for the Outlook (xxxxxxxxxxx) account.

Server Error: 3204

Server: 'https://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v2.0.0/Sync.aspx'

Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x8DE20003

 

I can log into OWA and see all my messages queuing, ready to download.  I can send from OWA.

So, I deduce from the evidence that there is nothing wrong per se with my WLM installation nor with my Outlook.com account. It is a problem with synching between the two only.

 

I have done a registry scan to no avail.

I have scoured the community discussions and see that similar problems have occurred with different devices and operating systems, but can find no specific solution that helps me.

 

What else can I try?
