44 days ago, I upgraded to Windows Live Mail 2011 (which is copyrighted 2010?) and I can say I'm happy with it. But I want to go further. Where can I find Windows Live Mail 2012 or newer, or Windows (Live) Essentials 2012 (or newer) and just decline everything but Mail? I searched the Microsoft Download Center with no luck.
I am having a problem. We recently upgraded from POP to IMAP service. The speed of receiving emails and syncing with Windows Live Mail running on Windows 7 decreased dramatically. I have concluded the problem is specific to Windows Live Mail based on the effects observed and noted below. Here are all the devices & software we are using and how they were affected after the changed to IMAP.
- Windows Live Mail + IMAP account = slow as molasses on a cold January day
- Apple Mail = same as before the change from POP to IMAP; fast
- iPhone Mail = fast
- WebMail for the IMAP service (on various machines & browsers) = no change; fast
- Windows Live Mail running on the same machine + a 2nd email account which is POP = same as before the change; fast
This is very frustrating. Does anyone have a solution he/she can share? (P.S. My Windows software is up to date).
thanks in advance.
My computer has quit working so I started working on my husbands computer. Up until I touched his computer he had been using Windows Live Mail to send and receive emails. He did not sign into WLM, he just always clicked cancel.
I was trying to use Windows Live Writer to write a blog post and I could not get it to work. I message came up saying it might have installed wrong to try and reinstall it. I clicked okay and it downloaded or installed or something (Windows Essentials I think).
Ever since then his Windows Live Mail will not work with our roadrunner account. I called roadrunner and check the incoming and outgoing servers. I had everything set up as they said I should.
I cannot get his email to work. I don't know what to do.
I keep getting The connection to the server has failed.

Someone please help. Is it a windows problem or a roadrunner problem? He's mad I screwed up his email! I've called Microsoft and spoke to two people who told me I needed to do online chat. I chatted with two people and no one could help me.
(And I still can't get Windows Live Writer to work either. uggggg. Won't connect to my blog).
I have verified with Time/Warner tech support that my mail settings are correct.
I can send mail from my web based mail box to my WLM desktop application and any mail that comes to my e-mail address *** Email address is removed for privacy *** is forwarded to WLM. However when I try and send mail from WLM to the SMTP server I get the following error message
The message could not be sent. The setting for your outgoing email [SMTP] server might need to be configured. To find the server settings for '*** Email address is removed for privacy ***', please contact your email service provider.

TWC tech support believes that, from their end, all settings are correct. We even tried an alternating SMTP server and port:
I have tried a number of suggestions from this forum without success.
