I'm running Windows 7 and have a Windows 8 phone. Both were working correctly with my Windows Live ID. I purchased an Xbox Music Pass, and it asked me to install Windows Authenticator app on my phone. After that, my Windows Live ID/password combo no longer worked anywhere. From my PC, I reset the password. That new password now works on my PC Windows Live Mail client, but nowhere else. I cannot access my email from my phone. It says the account/password combo are invalid. I cannot access my just purchased Xbox Music Pass via the PC or via my phone.
A) Why was my password changed as part of purchasing and setting up Xbox Music Pass?
B) After resetting my password, why does it only work on the Windows Live Mail client on my PC?
I have several Contact Categories containing groups of people I like to send
messages to. I used to be able to highlight that Category and click in the
BCC area and they entered as +that category name. For some reason that's not
working anymore. I can click on the BCC which opens my contact list and
highlight a category and it places it in the BCC area when I choose that.
It shows like "+madeupname". After sending the message to myself and to
the group as BCC I check the Sent folder and check the message to insure
those contacts show in the BCC area. Nothing is there. So I tried putting
nothing in the To: area and only the Category name in the BCC box. It said
it can't send a message because nothing is listed in To:..CC:....or Bcc.
My email sends and receives OK with individual email addresses. My problem is that category does not work. If I copy and past contacts into a NEW category, it will work, but when I get out of mail and back in again later the same new category will not work to send mail to all the addresses contained.

WLM contacts allows you to give a "county/region" in the address but this is never subsequently shown as part of the address. Unless I've missed something, this appears to be a mistake in the programming.
To elaborate, in WLM contacts you can edit to incorporate a Street address, City, County/region, Postcode. But when you view the Contact summary, the County is not shown. Similarly, if you view the Contacts as a detailed list, you can select columns to include "Home Street Address" and "Home City, County, Postcode". But the latter column always omits the County, despite specifying it.
This is a small problem but ought to be corrected. It may have arisen because "County" is a less important part of a postal address in the US than in the UK (where I live). But it is clear that the County is intended to be used and shown, since it is specifically mentioned in the Column offering. NB. If you are looking at this in the US, you are unlikely to see the problem, as your addresses will be formatted differently - eg. you will have Zip Code instead of Postal Code, and while you may also be able to record a County, it will not normally be shown in summary since your addresses do not normally include them.

Original Title: Microsoft Windows Live Mail
In Windows Live Mail, my email provider is Road Runner and all is proper at their home mail page for me. When Win Live Mail
show up, I get double email messages. What to do that is simple ?
I've tried so many different methods that have not worked, but the bottom line is that I only have messages on WLM that go back to 07/31, whereas on my Vista Windows Mail I have hundreds of emails that go back to 2011. I really need those emails,
And I can find no method for exporting/importing my contacts.
And the 3rd problem is that, although on the W7 PC I went into WLM, options, email accounts, selected Verizon (my email carrier), properties, advanced, and made sure there was a check mark in the box 'Leave a copy of messages on server'..... it made no difference. The emails exist on my verizon.net account and my WLM mail for only a short time before they disappear from Verizon. I don't want them to disappear.
Can't someone please help?
Thank you.
