Windows Live Mail 2012 does not allow me to reply or write new emails

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

I have had ongoing issues with Windows Live Mail and Outlook 2013 crashing whenever there is a Windows update, but today while performing what is now my tri-weekly online repair of Office 365, WLM will not allow me to create new mail or reply to existing email. The application opens, downloads mail and allows me to open said mail, but when I try to create a new mail message I get the message: "A problem occurred while trying to open this message. A problem has occurred. Please try again" I have searched the online forums and tried all solutions to no avail.

I have tried:

1. repairing the installation

2.uninstalling and removing all traces of WLM including registry entries, then reinstalling

3. exporting emails, deleting the account and creating a new account and importing the emails back again

4. a clean boot

I have an ASUS S550CM running Windows 8.1 and there are no viruses or malware. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Office and Windows Live Mail so many times. I have wasted so much time on this, and having already performed several restorations and re-installations of Windows, am reluctant to do it again. I would use the Windows 8 Mail app except from what I understand, it will not work with POP3 accounts and I cannot import email from WLM.

ATM, I feel like I have bought into an endless cycle of software problems, technical support desks, and online forums by buying a Windows 8 machine. Is there any relief in sight?

WLM 2012 inbox name display

I just started using windows live mail 2012. Sometimes the incoming contacts names are their true names and other times it's their email addresses. How could I set to display only the contacts names?

WLM Not Downloading Folders/Sent E-mails are Missing

19. March 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags:

When I either try to reset the ports on WLM, or add a new account, it takes forever for WLM to download the folders.

I noticed last week that all my sent messages were not in its folder.  I tried refreshing the ports or re-adding the account in WLM altoegether, but each time it says 'Downloading the dolfers that are avaialble' and seems to never complete.

I remember when I first added an account in WLM, all the emails started populating in the corresponding folders very rapidly.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Have a new computer, WLM works for single contacts but not Group Contacts. Get error message instructing me to add a name, as if it doesn't read the presence of the Group name in the name line.

I have WLM version 2012 on Windows 7.  When I receive and/or forward some photos, they appear in slide form in the text of the message instead of the actual photo.  Don't know why this happens, but I don't like it.  Is there anything I can do to change this? 

Windows Live Mail doesn’t get all my emails, only some

17. March 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: ,
I have recently upgraded to a new PC running Windows 7 64 bit and using WLM to get all my emails now that I can't use Outlook Express. I have used WLM before on a W7 64bit laptop and it's get all my emails fine. WLM on my new PC will only get about half the emails that it are in the email (Orange) account. I have compared the setup details on both computers, and as far as I can see they are identical. Can any body suggest what the problem might be, it can't be the PC, can it................? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated before I get so fed up, I  reinstall XP to use OE. Thanks.

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

Couldn’t export WLM but was able to copy files. Restore Contacts? Emails?

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

My PC was corrupted to the point that I could not run backup programs, and things like WLM would not run properly, no export capability.  I pulled the HDD and was able to copy off all my files.  What are the chances that I can restore my contacts and my emails now that I've reinstalled Windows 7?  Any suggestions or tips from anyone?  Thanks a lot.
