I am still getting to know my new email but nevertheless have to say I was staggered when transferring some content relating to my Chairmanship of a school governing body from my previous Windows Live Mail address with Waitrose to my new inbox that it opened bearing a photograph of my wife against the sending address which she tells me is that from her Facebook page.

 

I have sought no links with Facebook nor for that matter with Twitter or LinkedIn and find this unsolicited intrusion unacceptable (I subscribe to none of them).

 

Why and how did it occur and how can I get rid of it and ensure that it doesn't happen again if I find I need to import more historical emails?

 

I was duped into sending (or trying to send) this message earlier by naively believing that the invitation to "add to contacts" the email address which welcomed me into this new world actually meant I could use it as a contact but it quickly came back as undeliverable from yet another address about Hotmail...............customer friendly or what?

 

I acknowledge my limitations as to computer literacy but that just means surely that it should be made easier for me to contact you for help from time to time but I am given to understand that this is the only game in town.

 

 I await your advice with thanks in anticipation.

My System Tray and Notification icons for Windows Live Mail will often times get stuck indicating new mail arrived.  I can go to Live Mail and all indicators say no unread mail.  Is there a fix for this?  Or even something I can do to force a "refresh" when this happens?  

 I do have rules that push some incoming email messages to designated folders and mark them read.  Those rules are working (marking as read) but I mention them in case that might be related. 

Running on Windows 8  (not 8.1)

getting no where fast in this program.
I need to restore my computer to its original settings so that we can fix a video driver problem and an email problem.  I don't see a way of saving the emails in my live mail.  and My live mail is giving me problems.  I can't send anything from windows live mail.  Some times I can send and sometimes I can't  receive.  Right now I can not send anything.  Also all of the tool bar has disappeared how do I get it to come back?

I have windows 7. the computer is only 4 months old.

Any hints or suggestions?  Can I get my email stuff on sky drive and save it there?  If so how do I do that?   Is this the only way to deal with saving emails?
Beginning yesterday, I can't send or forward emails. I'm using Windows Live Mail  on an HP Windows 7 Home Premium

Yesterday, I started getting error message Ox80004003.  I read one solution was to delete what was in my Outbox which I did. I no longer get the
error message. 

Now when I try to send an email, I'm getting this message:

"A problem occurred while trying to open this message.  Please try again"

Can you help?  Thank you,

my contacts list in windows live mail and outlook and is enormous, since there is now a social network listing for each one--and they can't be deleted (there are some dead folks in there). how do I cull the list? I want to get rid of the duplicates--without using the cleanup function, which turned live mail into a nightmare on windows 7 (I suddenly had 16 "Barbara" entries--all the same and all wrong).

 

this is no longer amusing.

 

can anyone help?

 

thanks.
