Can no longer access Yahoo Mail in Windows Live since password change

17. March 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , ,

Hi

I have two Yahoo email .co.uk accounts. Late last year (Nov?) I was prompted to change password on one account with a message from Yahoo that there had been attempts by an app based in US to access my account. I am in the UK. I believe that this may have coincided with a lot of other people also having problems with Yahoo mail.

I changed the password since when I have been unable to access mail from this account in Windows Live Mail. The other account which I didn't change works fine. (I have more recently changed the password on htis account and it still works).

I can access the problem account through my iPhone without problem, and I can access it via the web.

I have tried everything I can find online from varying the POP settings to deleting the account in Windows Live Mail and then re creating it all to no avail.

Current settings are

Outgoing: smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk 587 with SSL

Incoming: pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk 995 with SSL

Have tried other port numbers, .com instead of .co.uk and other forms of authentication.

Log on using secure authentication (clear text authentication) all other options also tried

I get repeated requests for the password although it is entered correctly, and eventually the following error mesage:

Unable to send or receive messages for the Yahoo.co (name of account) account. An incorrect password was entered. The next time you send or receive messages, you'll be asked to enter your user name and password for this account.

Server Error: 0x800CCC90
Server Response: -ERR [AUTH] (#MBR1240) Please verify your account by going to https://login.yahoo.com
Server: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC92
Protocol: POP3
Port: 995
Secure(SSL): Yes

I have POP selected in the Yahoo Mail settings.

I am running Windows 7 using automatic updates and Mozilla Firefox 27.0.1

Windows Live Mail 2011 – I cannot send a message

16. March 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: ,
Background: I have a microsoft Account and use Hotmail.

Problem:
I am on the Internet ... like at FoxNews but could be another site..
I want to send them an email.

After selecting I want to send a e-mail I get a popup of Microsoft Live Mail 2011 (screenshot).

I fill in the the To, Subject and my message.
I click on send.
But it does not send.

I think I have to be somehow logged into a mail provider before getting the popup in the first place?

How does this Microsoft Live Mail 2011 work to send / receive mail?

Live Mail database

16. March 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: ,

Every time I open Live Mail after rebooting, I get the message that Live Mail is recovering the Database. Also, Although I have permanently deleted all deleted messages, their headings still appear in the summery frame, although the individual messages cannot be found. What is going on, and how do I clear it?

I am running Windows Live Mail 2011 under Windows 7

Export messages from Windows Live Mail with correct folder structure

16. March 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: ,

Hello, I'm trying to export messages from Windows Live Mail (using Win7) to another mail client. The problem is, every time I'm trying to export my archive with pretty sophisticated folders structure (i have 16000+mails, over 9GB), I end up with totally different folder structure.

Is there any way how I might be able to export emails and folders from Windows Live Mail with correct folder structure so my folders and their names stays exactly the same as they were in Windows Live Mail?? I mean same names, same folders, same subdirectories etc. 

Thanks for help and best regards!

Windows Essentials Confict between “Messenger” and Skype.

15. March 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Messenger · Tags: , , ,

I will do my best to simplify this problem:

First - I have a desktop which is running Windows 8.1. I run it in desk top mode.

I have Skype installed and have had a Skype account for several years. I also have Windows Essentials installed. The most important part of WE, for me, is Windows Live Mail. It is a very useful mail program.

Now - the problem: Every day when I boot up my PC, I get a message from Windows Live Messenger stating that a new version is available. This message seemingly came from no-where starting about a month ago. I'm given two choices, I can upgrade or not upgrade. If I say okay to the upgrade the program returns a message which says there is already a newer version installed. I assume that this is referring to "Skype". Since it seems to be discouraging me, I select "Cancel".

Of course the next time I reboot the same upgrade message is present. It is quite annoying. I really just want the annoying message to go away, but I'm not sure what is driving it. The thing that I don't want to do is to disrupt my Windows Live Mail program with all my e-mails and contacts.

Suggestions???

Windows Live Mail and Quick View

15. March 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: , , ,
I have Windows Live Mail running on my pc with Windows 7 Home Premium.  There us nothing showing in my Quick Views apart from mail prior. to May 2012.  Having seen that many people have had problems since an update about then I have repaired WLM, uninstalled and re-installed it all to no avail. I have even re-installed WLM 2011 but that hasn't helped either. I have checked that Quick View is switched on, been through the "Select Quick Views" and am happy that they are as they should be.  I have two e-mail addresses one with gmail and the other with Talktalk.  I have checked the settings with those and again am sure that they are correct, having followed on-line instructions.  Has anyone solved this problem as I really would like help.  Many thanks

Window Live Mail and Win 8.1

14. March 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: , ,

I bought a new Gateway Laptop with Win 8 installed in May 2013.  Shortly thereafter, I updated to Win 8.1.  I didn't like the Mail program provided. (Outlook)

I installed Windows Essentials after I updated to 8.1, several times and uninstalled it/re-installed it, because the email program wasn't working.

2 days ago I re-installed Windows Live Mail.  It worked fine for the first day, a little worse the second day and today, the third day, it is totally inconsistent.  I keep receiving pop-ups with messages:  Cannot connect to server, Failure because of memory problems,  Cannot receive/send email because of server problems, memory problems, etc., etc.  The pop-ups keep flashing on the screen so fast I can't even click ok to get out of the program.

Is there an update to Windows Live Mail 2012 that can solve my problem?  I have run diagnostics on my computer, there are no memory problems, just problems with Windows Live Mail 2012.

I would like to use it, but I'm really thinking of moving to Thunderbird.  I need a stable and consistent Email program without installing and re-installing and re configuring every 2 days.

Looking for suggestions.

Thank you very much.

Windows Live Mail problem.

As of yesterday morning, Thursday, March 13, 2014 my Windows Live Mail stopped workiing.

I am unable to reply, reply all, forword, nor access my contacts, etc.  

There is an explanation point in a yellow triangle and it says "A problem occurred while trying to open this message. A problem has occurred.  Please try again."  I have tried again, and again and again using various messages I received and when trying to create a new message.  I have restarted my computer multiple times.   I turned over my computer to "Support" so they could fix an update error that I started getting yesterday morning at the same time I started experiencing problems with Window Live Mail 2012.  The tech. just finished fixing error code 0x80070570, but said I would have to solve the Windows Live Mail problem through this support community.  

Unknown Windows and Email issue

14. March 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: ,

For a little over a week now, this is the error code I get when I try to create or reply to an email.

I connect to my email from the windows live mail icon located in my tool bar, but cox.net is my actual email provider, and is a POP email

C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Temp\WER79F.tmp.WERInternalMetadata.xml

  C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Temp\WER1D32.tmp.appcompat.txt

  C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Temp\WER1DFE.tmp.mdmp

Also, when I open my browser I get an error message

"Internet Explorer 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."

I run Windows 7, with Windows live mail, Cox.net is my provider and is a dedicated internet connection.

.

I keep getting the same response from the same guy ZigZag3143 (MS - MVP)  "Type "Wlarp" into search (without the quotes of course) then press enter>repair all WLE programs."

I have done this several times now and am not able to resolve the issue. There is no known new programs on my laptop that may have infected it. Everything was fine when I went to bed and not working when I got up in the morning to check my mail. My laptop is powered off when I'm not using it.

I hope someone can help,

Thanks in advance for not asking me to try Wlarp again =)

-Bill
