Unable to open and save an email with attachments using Windows Live Mail

31. May 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , ,

Both gingerandbuddy and Tuscoro have described exactly the problem I have encountered with attachments (all attachments).  Everything was working fine with Windows Mail until a week or so ago when suddenly attachments wouldn't open. One of the suggestions I read somewhere was to switch to Windows Live Mail, which I did after a lengthy download time. The problem persists, however, except that I can now print PDF files directly (a new option in Windows Live Mail) but I still can't open or save them. I have also received the message that some very reliable software I was attempting to download contains a virus (which I don't believe) and the download was automatically deleted. I have Windows Vista, IE9, and McAfee Security Scan. I have done a complete scan for viruses with none found. My service provider is the local cable company which is a part of a major telecommunications group. I think the problem must have started when one of the automatic updates was installed on my computer in the background and the other users seem to be of the same opinion. None of the answers provided to them solve the problem.  It is serious for me because I receive much important information via attachments. Help is needed urgently --- perhaps we should revert to an older version of Windows Vista, but how can that be done?

Live Mail work offline

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium; Email: Windows Live Mail
I had this problem before; thought I had fixed it, but it came back.
When I try to access Windows Live Mail (check inbox), I get a box that says I'm working offline and do I want to work online. 
I say yes, and it repeats twice, before anything happens, and then perhaps nothing happens. 
Eventually mail arrives, but this is a real PITA!
And, of course, I didn't keep "fix", because I didn't think this would happen again.
Many thanks ...

Is Windows Live Mail still useable?

I just ran Windows Update. It's still showing Windows Live Essentials as an available download. Is the Windows Live Mail that is included as part of the Windows Live Essentials package useable, or did Outlook.com make it obsolete just like it did Hotmail?

How do I open.RAR Attachments

How do I open an .RAR attachment (pictures) on Windows Live Mail? They won't open in Adobe Reader (default) and tried other reasonable programs to open. I've even unclicked my security block, still doesn't work.

Where are Windows Mail files for messages and contacts stored in Windows 7?

30. May 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags:
I backed up a Windows 7 system and restored it to factory state by doing a system recovery because the system was seriously infected with viruses.  I couldn't do the export before the system recovery.

Now having the Windows 7 system reset to its brand-new state I am trying to restore the Windows Mail account.  In fact, I can't tell if it was a Window Mail or Windows Live Mail before.  I don't know if the file locations for messages and contacts of these two mail are different.

When I go to to c:\users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\, I can't see Windows Live Mail but Windows Mail.  So does it mean it was a Windows Mail system not a Windows Live Mail system before.  I copied the backed-up files in the Windows Mail system over to the directory of the same path in the newly recovered system, however it does not seem to make any difference when I open Windows Live Mail which is the only mail program on the newly recovered Windows 7 system.

Can someone confirm me the locations of the files for messages and contacts for Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail in Windows 7 Home operating system.  Can I simply copy the files over?  With Outlook 2007 and 2010 it usually works if I simply copy the files over or import from the backed up file.  Also what file names should they be so that I can easily identify them?  Are the email accounts and password setup need to be re-entered like Outlook 2007/2010 or are stored in files which I can simply copy over to the new system?

I am not seeing the Calendar pane on Windows Live Mail.

I need some help here folks, new computer Windows 7 Sp-1 64 bit IE9 Windows live mail 2012 latest version.

Go to the view tab & look at the calendar pane. Is it lit up & the calendar showing? Mine is not, it's just the opposite, calendar showing &

calandar pane not lit up like it is on my other computer W7 WLM 2012. How can this be fixed? Dell doesn't know & messes up something else when they work on it & Microsoft doesn't even want to discuss it. Nothing on the web about this problem either. Calendar pane should be lit up w/ calendar showing, know that for sure.

Anybody out there with a solution???

I have done a repair in windows live essentials, & uninstalled & reinstalled WLM & it still doesn't work?????

 

Thank you,

 

Eddie

I cannot send emails using Windows Live Mail.

When I try to send an e-mail, I get this message:

 

The server does not support a SSL connection.

Subject 'Fw: '
Server Error: 250
Server Response: 250 8BITMIME
Server: 'smtp.att.yahoo.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC7D
Protocol: SMTP
Port: 25
Secure(SSL): Yes

 

I am a home user with an internet connection that IS working.  Also I am receiving emails via Windows Live Mail.  I was able to send messages until 5/26.  Using the repair solution mentioned for a customer (5/26/2013) did not work.
