Contacts High Jacked! What exactly is Windows Live Mail anyway?

15. February 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags:

My contact list has been high jacked! 

 

When I bought a new PC a couple of years ago I thought Windows Live Mail which came with Win 7 was simply an application to handle e-mails and a calendar  very much like Eudora which I had been using for a decade.

 

So, I have been using it as such fairly happily for the last couple of years with my own domain-based e mail address.

 

I also have a Hotmail address which I rarely use.  Recently my son linked his Blackberry address book to my Hotmail account, which wiped my Hotmail contacts and replaced them with his contacts. 

This wasn’t a big problem, but somehow it also wiped and replaced all the contacts in my account on Windows Live Mail, which is a problem.

 

I don’t understand how this could happen.  As far as I know there is no link between my Windows Live Mail account and Hotmail.

I am now wondering just exactly what is Windows Live Mail? Is it a stand-alone application, or is it somehow linked in the background to Hotmail?

 

Is there any way of getting my contacts back?

Windows Live Mail keeps crashing after a Windows update.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and I still get the same problem, it opens then immediately crashes. I've tried to install 2012 and it only gets to 50% then says there was an error and uninstalls itself again.

I'm running Windows 7 64 bit

email

Hello, I have no desire or see the reason to have the same incoming email messages going to separate websites.  I have been using hotmail, now know as outlook for 9 years and it's what works best for my needs. My question is how to completely remove "windows Live Mail" which by the way I hate everything about it from the page layout to trying a simple function like deleting messages. I tried closing  "win live mail" account,but when i attempted to use  " mail-to " i received an error message that their was no mail program associated with this account. In the past I was always redirected to my hotmail account. There is no option for hotmail/outlook in "choose your default programs." (I put a check next to use my current email program). I am surprised I don't have a concussion from hitting my head against the wall.  i have a Gateway laptop with win 7 64 bit premium and google chrome as my default browser. I have wasted more hours than i hate to admit searching the web. fo a solution, or it's goodbye microsoft and hello gmail. Thank you in advance for you wisdom.

Any suggestions? It was fine up until about a month ago when i was alerted my emails are going in peoples junk folders.

Thanks.

Hi,

I cannot use Windows Live Mail any more:

Unable to send or receive messages for the Hotmail (petercosmic) account.
Server Error: 3204
Server: 'https://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v2.0.0/Sync.aspx'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x8DE20003

- Turning off firewall / Antivirus did not help
- No stuck Mail in the Outbox
- I reinstalled the latest version
- System restore did not help
- Resetting Internet Explorer settings did not help
- Re-creating the accounts did not help
- I tried Internet Explorer settings (found this in some post):

   Clear the Check for server certificate revocation check box. 

   Select the Use SSL 2.0 check box. 

   Select the Use SSL 3.0 check box. 


Please note that it used to work until a couple of days ago.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
Peter
