Cannot sign into Windows Live Mail

08. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: ,
First, to J W Stuart,

My sincere apology for your having misunderstood the tender of my commentary at my earlier posting.  I definitely did not intend sarcasm as to having stated my understanding of the program.  Just a choice of the wrong wording at a stressful moment.

I have followed advice and successfully downloaded Windows Live Mail (hereinafter "WLM").  However,I am  currently at the screen to input an email address and Microsoft account password. The problem is, the address of which of my email accounts?  I inserted the email address I have with Microsoft.com and it is not accepted.

Moreover, in creating an email address for WLM, what is the abbreviation of same, the latter? Or, might I construe a connection between WLM and Hotmail? Is this the answer I am seeking?  Heretofore, I had presumed they are two separate entities.  I tried creating a new email address specifically for WLM; alas, not the answer..  I have searched the Web, asked specifics, but must have missed something on-point, because I am "lost in translation." (smile)

Further assistance would be most welcome.

WLM – lost hypertext links capability

04. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags:

1) I have lost the capability of clicking onto hypertext links on my WLM inbox messages. I have been unable to ascertain the fix!

Can anybody help me please?

 

2) My version of WLM is Version 2011 (Build 15.4.3502.0922) which I believe has been superceded by a later version.

If my suppostion is correct, why has not Windows Update automatically replaced it?

3) If there is a new version available, would I be correct in assuming that my old inbox & sent mailings will remain as is?

4) If I were to reinstall WLM would I be correct in assuming that I would lose all of my existing mailings?

 

Would it not be a good idea for all these points to be included on WLM help pages and even on a WLP program help page (There ain't one!)

Windows Live Mail – Clean up Contacts gets http 404 error

03. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,

When I click on the Clean up Contacts button in WLM (using Win7), it launches a web page with an HTTP 404 Page Not Found error.  The address it's trying to use is:  https://msnia.login.live.com/ppsecure/sha1auth.srf?lc=1033

 

Windows Live Mail

Is there a resource I can use to help me clean up my Windows Live Mail without having to search through soooooo many posts? Otherwise, here are my multiple questions....

I have a Gmail account that also has my work account added to it. So it seems that my deleted work account emails are only held in my gmail trash folder.

When I created a WLM account with my work account and added my Gmail account, I get multiple copies of emails and only one location of deleted files (I want to save some of them just in case I need them).

SO - I think I like the WLM set up it seems to have lots of nice features, just lacks good help files. This is a current program, correct? I don't want to get it all set up only to find out it's going obsolete like OE.

 Ideally, I would like to have Gmail and work accounts totally separate, again. If I remove my work account from Gmail, will my work account be intact in WLM and saving deleted files in the deleted files folder? (I put them both on Gmail because it was the only way I could get them to work properly on my cell phone. - I want to be sure I can get my work account - *** Email address is removed for privacy *** on my cell phone, too.)

I am very afraid of losing work account emails. It would be a disaster. Sorry this is so long. I used to be able to find the answers to my questions in an index. So neat and clean. Now finding help is a whole messy process.....

Thank you to anyone who can help simplify this for me.

I want to work with emails separately but will it still be intact in Windows Live Mail?

WLM 2009 – XP

31. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags:
I have WLM2009 on my PC using XP.

I want to export the address book to my notebook also using XP.

When I go to Contacts / File / Export/ .csv the window that comes up is not the correct size, then when I select the folder to save to and hit save WLM freezes?

Is this a known problem, is there a fix?

If I re-install WLM 2009 will I loose all my contacts and email accounts?

Thanks

Live Mail not synching with Outlook.com

30. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , ,

Using Windows 7 with Windows Live Mail, I can synch with my Gmail account.  It will accept incoming mail and send mail. However, my Outlook.com account will not synch at all with WLM.  I tries continuously to synch calendar, but never progresses. I have tried deleting the account from WLM and reinstating it.  The error I get is

 

Unable to send or receive messages for the Outlook (xxxxxxxxxxx) account.

Server Error: 3204

Server: 'https://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v2.0.0/Sync.aspx'

Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x8DE20003

 

I can log into OWA and see all my messages queuing, ready to download.  I can send from OWA.

So, I deduce from the evidence that there is nothing wrong per se with my WLM installation nor with my Outlook.com account. It is a problem with synching between the two only.

 

I have done a registry scan to no avail.

I have scoured the community discussions and see that similar problems have occurred with different devices and operating systems, but can find no specific solution that helps me.

 

What else can I try?

 

Changes to Windows Live Mail?

29. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: ,

Has Windows Live Mail been changed or is mine corrupted?

 

I use WLM as an e-mail client, mail comes through Comcast.  Toshiba Satellite Windows 7, IE10.

 

The Compose window has changed.  There is no longer any way to switch from plain text to rich text or vice vera.  No way to edit mail saved as drafts in the usual manner, I have to use keyboard shortcuts to cut, copy or paste.   It has become clunky and old fashioned. 

 

Are these changes that have been downloaded on to my computer unknown to me, or is my system corrupted?

 

Why, oh WHY did MS get rid of Outlook Express?  That served me SO well for 15 years .......  WLM is a poor replacement.

 

Oh,  and why is there no category for this?????

Windows Live Mail will not go online.

28. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: ,
 Version 2011 (Build 15.4.3555.0308) running on Windows 7. I wrote emails on a farm with no internet. Back home WLM asks me twice on start-up if I wish to go online, but stays offline.  Same when I click the "go online" icon.  I have uninstalled all Windows Live programs and re-installed twice.  Problem persists.  If I send emails, and then close WLM, a pop-up tells me I have unsent emails and asks if I want to go online - this then works and my emails are sent, but nothing is downloaded.   Help Please!

Error code :0x800C0155

Have removed WLM, freshly download the current version and re-installed. Still same error. WHAT GIVES? Does Microsoft have a solution?
