recovered windows live mail contacts, but how to open and retrieve the info?

30. October 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , , , , ,
I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8 over the weekend.  I was forced to do a PC refresh and re-install Windows 8 a second time in order for it to work on my laptop.  I find now that the PC refresh erased my Contacts from Windows Live Mail that I was using on Windows 7.  I am able to recover the Contacts files from my online backup prior to the upgrade.  But is there a way for me to import them into the People app or at least to open the file to get the info to manually add some of my contacts into people?  I have lost some important email addresses that I did not have stored elsewhere.  They were backed up.....

How can I make Windows Live Mail open in less than 90 seconds?

Windows Live Mail 2011 used to start up within about 10 seconds of clicking the icon. Now it takes at least 90 seconds which is very frustrating.

Stuck in mail download mode

30. October 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , , , , , ,
Windows Live Mail recently started handing up in the mail download cycle, I.e. the download status box displays it is receiving a continuous stream of emails that do not exist. The download count keeps growing until I stop it. Any ideas what's wrong?

WLM has black background and very dark gray text after Win8 upgrade

28. October 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , , , , , , , ,
Windows Live Mail launches with a black background and very dark gray text.  This is also the background and text of the left navigation panel.  The message windows are black on white, but the rest of WLM is dark gray on black.  I also cannot detect a scroll slider on the left panel and text outside the message panels gets overlaid/overwritten.

All my Inbox e-mails previous to September 16 2012 seems to have been deleted on its own. Where did they go? Can I recover them? I also use Windows Live Mail and Thunderbird, I don't know if these programs are automatically deleting older e-mails.

by mistake I said I did not want to update my windows live mail and have now been blocked out, how do I recover my mail system without reinstalling and thus losing all of my saved mail ?

My comodo firewall asked for permision to allow live mail update and I inadvertently said no. Now I have no live mail and probably have lost all of my saved mail if I have to reinstall.

when I look at e-mail tin Senrt folder, the language is a mix of English and weird symbols. Why?

25. October 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , , , , , , ,

I have Windows Live Mail 2012 running on Windows 7 SP1 Honme Edtion 64 bit.  I have English Canada selected as

my language in both Windows 7 and Windows Live Mail 2012, with my keyboard set to English U.S.  Whenever I type an email and send it, all letters and words are fine and appear sas they should.  I use the spelling checcker, etc. 

 

Howver, when I then look at the email I sent, in the Sent Folder, the words are a mess of English and weird (some French) symbols!  Why is this? 

 

I have tried changing all language settings to English U.S. and keyboard U.S. in BOTH Win 7 and Live Mail, but the problem persists.  When I receive e-mails, they are fine, it's only e-mail I have sent, and then ONLY what is in my sent ffolder, not the actual e-mail anyone has received!!!

 

HELP!  This is driving me nuts!
