I used Windows Mail with Vista for 4 years on my Laptop. This had no probelms downloading e-mails from 6 Virginmedia accounts.
I have now switched to Windows 8 & use windows live mail. I've set up these account to download receive & send the same 6 e-mai accounts.
However, on the main account, Windows Live mail downloads some mail & not others. There is no obvious reason for this, it appears quiet random. However, this makes Windows Live Mail useless as you have to log onto VM server to check no important e-mail has been skipped over.

It seems that my categories are limited to 10 contacts per. Not very helpful! Is there a setting to increase the number of contacts allowed per category?

Have seen a lot of negative comments regarding this feature while looking for an answer to my question. Is Windows Live Mail a mistake? Outlook Express seemed to work very well. FYI Microsoft, new for the sake of different is not better.


Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

I use Windows 7 and Windows Live Mail.  Two e-mail addresses(@ Tiscali) are receiving and sending mail with no problem BUT I have just added another email to my account (@ Talktalk) and keep getting the error messages Server Error 0x800CCC90, Server response -ERR Authentification failed and Windows Live Mail Error ID 0x800CCC92.  Help please - I know that the password I put in is correct.

Here I go again about this lousy mail program.
I had problems with outgoing mail that has been resolved with your help.
Now a few days later I have lost all contacts, I get a message saying my "email" address has no contacts.
Completely wiped out.
Any clues???
By the way I am using Windows Live Mail 2011. Is there a later version?

I lost all my data on my entire computer because the repair man had to do a complete restoration. Thank goodness I have Carbonite, and that back up is re-populating my computer. 

However, unlike the person above, my issue is with Windows Live. I signed in and nothing is there. I did sign in as recently as a a few weeks ago, right before winter break ( I teach online and these newsgroups were actual classes I was teaching). 

I thought Windows live was all web based, and so I would expect my newsgroups to be there. 

1. How do I access the newsgroups on the internet, shouldn't they be there?
2. What is the relationship between my pc and the windows live application account? 
I recently purchased a Windows tablet.  Since configuring to receive emails through Windows Live I can no longer access my Yahoo emails on my laptop or phone.  I can still pick up ntl and Gmail without problems on the other devices.  I have reset my Windows password which I understand should be the same for Windows Live Mail as well as Windows. Registration.  My laptop claims that I am using the wrong password despite the fact that I can send and receive from ntl and Gmail. I am getting a Ox800CCCOE, detailing protocol POP3, Port 995, SSL yes, Socket error 10060 as the error message when I log on.
 
Anyone have any solutions?
