On opening my WLM this afternoon it said it was working offline. The 'work online' dialogue box came up but when I press 'yes' nothing happens and WLM remains offline. Any ideas please?
I removed a WLM account by mistake (while trying to fix another problem). Is there a way to restore the folders and messages from that account?
I just realized that I posted a WLM question in the wrong group (again). Silly me. I posted to Windows/Windows 7/Email whereas anyone with a brain would know that the proper group is Outlook and SkyDrive for WLM questions. Forgive me (again) professionals. Here is the question I just posted:
In a moment of weakness, I clicked "Add to Quick Access Toolbar" from the Ribbon. I didn't have a particular command in mind. I just wanted to see what the choices were. Suddenly a Search box appeared at the top of my email listings, taking up several unnecessary lines. There is no undo for this action and I cannot drag the box back to the Ribbon. Once the Search box has been added in this fashion, is there any way to permanently remove it?
I just migrated from Outlook Express to Windows Live mail using W/8. Is it possible to set WLM so when I click on the WLM tile on the Start menu WLM will start up AND download my mail as well? I see no sense to have to click on "send/receive" and a second time on "all accounts".........
I have OE 6.
Recently I decided to try out Windows live mail. However there were aspects of it that I didnt like. This included that the fact that when I tried to open eml files in OE they failed to open.
I decided to uninstall Windows Live Mail.
However, when I reopened OE and tried to open an eml file, the system couldnt identify what file type it was and wouldnt open it.
In the end I had to do a system restore to the point at which WLM was installed.
Is this normal? And if installing/uninstalling WLM causes these issues, I have to wonder how someone with less PC knowledge than myself would deal with this situation.
If I install or uninstall a program, I dont expect it to interfere or disrupt the operation of another application.
When I move an email from my inbox to the "Storage Folders / Personal Saved / whatever" that I created, the heading line appears correct, but the contents are from another email. I have about 50 folders, broken down by subject and I would hate to have to export each one and then re-create the tree structure after re-installing WLM. Is there any tool to clean/verify the structure of the store? How would you suggest cleaning up this mess? Running WLM Version 2009 Build 14.0.8117.0416. This was working just fine until a couple of weeks ago and I just noticed the problem.

I've been using windows live mail for accesing my accounts in my PC (WIN 7) and my Laptop (WIN XP)
I configure my WLM for accesing several hotmail. gmail and yahoo accounts and always worked fine until yesterday in both my PC and Laptop.
Since yesterday 09-18-2013 WLM still works fine with all of the others accounts (some of them are hotmail account) except for one of hotmail.com account. I have not changed anything and WLM always asks for a password authentification in spite of the fact
that the password is set up. I can access that hotmail account from internet and everything looks fine ( i.e. my password is correctly set up).
Apparently the problem is that hotmail.com does not authenticate the passwork of that especific account when trying to accees from WLM since yesterday.
Thanks for any help
