I have lost all my contacts in Windows live mail as the program doesn't open correctly. If iI redownload the program again will I get  my contacts back?
I would like to be able to sync the mail accounts and contents on my desktop with my laptop.  My primary interest is the mail, but contacts would be useful too.

I use Windows Live Mail on my desktop (OS Win 8) and on my laptop (OS Win7).  I normally do all my work on the desktop, but use the laptop when traveling.  My mail is primarily POP3 mail through my ISP, but I also have a separate POP3 mail account on a different server.  I download all messages to my hard drive.   [I do not care for web mail.] 

Before traveling, I would like to be able to sync all the messages (in all the accounts) on my desktop (at least the Inbox, Sent, and the many archive folders) with my laptop.  Then, when I return from a trip, do the reverse and sync those same Windows Live Mail folders with my desk top. 

Note:  I currently just have my laptop set to leave the messages on the server so I can download them to my desktop when I return from travel.  That works, but means I do not have access to archive messages on my desktop while traveling and have to re-download, read, and delete the messages I reviewed on the road.  In addition, I do not have a copy of the messages I sent from my laptop on my desktop.  Continuity is all out of whack.

Is there some reasonably easy method of doing this?  The two computers can communicate with each other over my home network.

Aside from the above, but related, my wife's mail is in Outlook Express on her desktop (OS XP) and I have her accounts on my laptop in Windows Live Mail so she can do her e-mail while we are traveling.  Is there any way to do the same with her mail as I asked above?  Her computer is also in our home network.

Thanks.

I set up the Windows Live mail calendar using  a Windstream email address.   Windstream will begoing away soon and my main email address will be on charter.net.  Reminders from the calendar  are currently posted on the Windstream account.  How can I change the posting to the Charter.net account.  *** Email address is removed for privacy ***
I have recently set up windows 8 on a new compaq pressario laptop and in general it is working fine but I can't get all emails using windows live mail. Some arrive and some don't. I know this because on my old system, which I am still using, using windows mail and vista home edition gets all my mail and it is not the same as on the new system.

I have been using Windows Live Mail on my Window Vista Premium computer for over a year, but since all the Microsoft Updates were automatically downloaded to my computer on 7/9/13, I can no longer use it.

 

When I try to open it, the minimized sceen comes up, but my curser will not enable use of the folder slider or open my messages.  If I try to refresh the screen or maximize it, the revolving circle appears but soon stops.

 

Then I get a pop-up window that jndicates Windows has a problem and will try to resolve it.  Then I get another pop-up that indicates Windows is unable to open at this time.  If I start over I usually get the same result.

 

I have tried use your recommended link above to download Windows Essentials 2011 to intall Windows Live Mail without the other progams within Essentials, but it will not download.  I need a solution NOW to this Problem!

 

PLEASE HELP!

The following is the message I receive when I try to send email:

The message could not be sent. The setting for your outgoing email [SMTP] server might need to be configured. To find the server settings for 'xxxxxxx', please contact your email service provider.

After obtaining all the advice and information I could from my internet service provider, I was told to get support from Windows Live Mail.
I sure would like to get to the bottom of this.  Any helpful advice will be very much appreciated!
