I have read many answers to this but none have helped. I WAS using WLM v11 and it was stuck on off line, although I was able to send and receive emails via Yahoo and I am on line 99% day without any known interruption.
I have tried Alt F but I do not have that option to tick or untick is not there - the Off line choice is not there. I have got Properties and then Exit nothing in between. I have looked at the other tabs.
I tried the windows repair
I uninstalled all of Windows Essential and re installed and now have WLM v12 thinking that might help.
This is Windows 7, using the IE as web browser.
I have invested so much time re this problem that I don't want to give up.
Any help would be appreciated.
Original Title: windows live mail
been using windows live mail and my email client for a few years, never seemed to have a problem. Two days ago my wowway email server suspended my account with no explanation. Today, after notifyng them, they re-instated account. When i go to their server
(wowway.com) i can get my email. When i go to windows live mail, i get an error message saying that i have wrong password for wowway account. i have a gmail acct., and a yahoo acct. using windows live mail and there is not any problem with those. Today i
also removed the wowway account and set up a new account to no avail. is there any type of lock that would have been put on my account? Any help would be appreciated.
I have used Windows Live Mail for many years on a Windows Vista computer. Recently got a new laptop with Windows 8.1 and wanted to use Windows Live Mail to manage 3 email accounts from 3 different sources (a Hotmail account, a Gmail account, and a company email address on Rackspace), because I like being able to toggle between the various accounts in one spot. So I downloaded and installed Windows Live Mail 2012.
When I setup the company account and imported the emails, many of the messages in my Inbox were time stamped with the date and time of the import, rather than the received date and time. They aren't all sequential messages - I have some that still show the time stamp from January 2014 and some messages from January 2014 now show a time stamp of 3/28/14 at 10:29pm - which is when I imported the messages. They aren't all from the same sender either. And the original send/receive time stamp is still in the header of the email when I open the email (and it's still in the source code of the email headers), but they show the import time stamp in the list view. This did not happen to my Hotmail or Gmail accounts, only my company account on Rackspace.
I have tried deleting that account from Windows Live Mail and then creating a new account and re-importing the folders and messages, but the same problem still happens. I have checked the Rackspace server and the time stamps have not changed there - only in Windows Live Mail. How can I get the list view to display the true date/time stamp and not the import date/time?
Dear all,
after checking my C:(os) and T:(data) drives, that were fine, then deinstalled WE and reinstalled them with WLM -- still it freezes.
Any suggestions how I can get WLM working again?

Windows 7 Professional with all updates. In Windows Live Mail the unread emails use a bold font which is easy to read. The emails that have been read are shown in a very dim font that is difficult to read, at least for these old eyes. Is there a way to make the read emails listing easier to read such as a different bold font (Italic?) or something else (color)? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. ( I have new glasses.)

I have only understood half of the issues here.
I've had to upgrade to Windows Live Mail on a Windows 7 PC.
I imported my old contacts list from Outlook Express (oh I loved that simple effective program) with the usual disastrous consequences seen elsewhere and messed up groups as is well known. I've sorted that now.
I've now managed to "Clean up" contacts to remove duplicates in People Live (despite many code errors, and it's taken most of the day to clean it out as it is so slow and repeatedly crashed whichever browser I used)
I have no hotmail account. I'm not sure what people.live is but I can sign into it so I guess I have a Windows account somewhere.
My questions are:
1. How is my Windows Live Mail contacts connected to People...if at all.
2. When I am logged into Windows Live Mail with the same account I used to get in to People, it shows me I have 27000 contacts, yet People now only has 8000 contacts (which seems about right)
When I log out of a WLM account but keep the program open it shows me just over 8000 contacts (though a different number from People) which suggests they are looking at different databases
4. I want to clear out all my WLM contacts and then import the cleaned up People list...how do I do that? I'm worried if I delete everything in WLM it may also delete the People list, as they may be linked somehow?
I've never knowingly synched or linked contacts with anything else, certainly not social media.
Can you advise me?

Split from an old, unrelated thread 
In Outlook or Windows Mail, I can copy a list of email address into the field "To:" and the system will automatic use the semi-colon or comma to separate them.
How can do that in Windows Live Mail?
Best Regards.
