Unable to Email to Category Lists Using Windows Live Mail 2012

As requested by the moderator, this is a new thread from an existing thread in the forum found at http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/forum/livemail-email/windows-live-mail-error-the-message-could-not-be/f10e4f74-5035-4324-9e96-09966f9a38ab?page=3&tm=1374622386894) .  My problem is that when I try to send an email to a Category List in Windows Live Mail 2012, I get an error message saying:

"The message could not be sent”

“Type an email address for one or more recipients in the To, cc, or Bcc box”

 

I have tried going through the repair process for Windows Live Mail and have uninstalled / reinstalled the program, but the problem persists. 

 

The problem will not occur the first time an email is sent to a Category list, but if I close Windows Live Mail, and re-start, the error will occur.

When I open Windows Live Mail in windows 7 Everything after that winds up BEHIND the live mail program. Email messages, Internet explorer, etc.
It just happened today and I cannot fix it. I have rebooted several times and it still stays up front and until I shut it down everything is behind it.

How do I increase the capacity of the Inbox in Windows Live Mail? At present it only holds 40-50 messages, and any earlier ones appear to be automatically deleted

How can I recover my lost email folder/s in Windows Live Mail?

23. July 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: ,

1) I renamed a folder in Livemail.  I then did a export all folders.  The folder was exported, but under it's original name.  Harmless I guess, but confusing.

2) Email folders disappear.  Can not provide much background, just notice one day the folder is missing.  Has about 70 messages, is there a size limit?

Which leads to....

3) So I try to do an import of specified folder.  When doing this I get the message "No messages can be found in this folder, or another application is running that has the required files open.  Please select another folder or try closing applications that may have the file open".   Source folder is the one with the .fol and .eml files.  Only application running is livemail.  I will just do a manual restore, but any ideas.

Restoring to a pop3 account.

Windows Live Mail has stopped working

23. July 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: ,
WLM opened and retrieved e-mails yesterday morning.  It then stopped responding and closed.  When I tried to restart Windows Live Mail the first error message box says "recovering windows mail storage database." Windows then tries to start Mail again and says "windows is checking for a solution to the problem."  The final error message is "windows live mail has stopped working.  A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."  The only option box is "close program."

I have tried the following:
Restarting the computer
Repairing Windows Live Mail then restarting the computer
Reinstalling Windows Essentials then restarting the computer
Full virus scan - _INS5176._mp quarantined
Performance tune-up 
Recovering from back-up - couldn't do it as it tries to open WLM as the first stage in the recovery from back-up (and it looks like all the e-mails are safely in appdata\local\microsoft\windowslivemail - just that I can't open WLM).

Anything else I could do? Thanks.

Update 24 July 2013: Saw the advice to create another user account to test if WLM would work on my computer for another user.  It does.  

Windows Live Mail 2011: default signature: keystroke insertion

Using Windows Live Mail 2011, is it possible to insert the default signature using keystrokes?  Is there some keystroke shortcut?
