Question about Outlook Express

Original Title: Is it possible to remove a Hotmail account from WLM

I have problems receiving mail send to me via Hotmail now integrated with my ancient Windows Live Mail.

This started as a result of me accepting the use of Outlook. com instead of Hotmail.  But Hotmail did not disappear and

instead became the default email account to enter into the ONLINE world of Outlook.com. 

My normal not online email account is the one with my local Internet Service Provider.  I manage to move this account (ttmail.com),

into the WLM.  Therefore I resulted with two accounts inside the Windows Live Mail.  The synchronization carried out

by Outlook.com created a chaos on my Contact List, but this is another problem not yet solved that I do not want to

bring it here.

My concern in this thread is to recover the faculty of receiving my Hotmail messages when I open my WLM.

I read in this forum that it is advised to remove both accounts from WLM and put them back again.  But I am afraid

of following such advice because I do not know if I will remain with nothing.!! 

This is why I am thinking that something can be done to make sure that my Hotmail messages are also discharged

into WLM or as an alternative, to de-synchronize Hotmail and have it functioning independently as before.

But how such thing will affect the messed up contact list?  God only knows. !!!

Will appreciate opinions on how to solve this problem.

Original title: How to fix corrupted WLM contacts file

I was an idiot when I accepted to merge OUTLOOK with Windows Live Mail, plus Gmail+ and the result has been a real disaster to me.!

Because the new groups or circles do not reflect my needs to interact with my old groups.  And in addition there are dozen of duplicated cxontacts that can not be deleted of edited.  These group of young computer engineers erroneously believe that placing in the same basket all your email accounts together with their respective contact list they are making us a favour.

To give you an idea of how big is the disaster let me tell you that my old WLM contact list was composed of less than 200 contacts including

four groups.  Today it has 640 and there is no way of deleting or editing such contacts.  The worse thing is, that this synchronization it is being operated on false premises.  Example... they say I can not delete completely this contact unless I delete it from the place it came from.  Then I go there,  to the mail contact list of Google and the contacts I am trying to delete from WLM are written there in Google Mail but in a different manner, i.e.,  Anita Tormos Work, Anita Tormos Home, anita.tormos and again anita tormos...   I just wanted to delete the two redundants, the one in small letters, but it is just impossible.  Moreover, when I manage to delete some redundant contact, next time I open the program  IT IS BACK THERE.

Excuse to have made a long introduction, because actually my question is very simple....

Considering that thanks God I still have my WINDOWS CONTACT LIST and that it has not been touched...... Can I then solve this MESS

by deleting ALL CONTACTS, (how to do it?), from my WLM, from Gmail+ and from Outlook,  No contact list in any of them, and then

export to all of them my Windows Contact list which is not corrupted.  Will they make a mess again?

How can I do this...._

And as a favour to whoever may read this post,  For God sake, never, ever accept to synchronize accounts if you do not want to

turn down insane, as I am about to turn.!!! 

Cannot sign in to WLM, Have reset password for 2 days, no luck. I have no trouble with Hotmail or SkyDrive.

Original Title: Windows Live Mail will not allow me to sign in, I have repeatedly updated my password to no avail

I still have the same problem as in my first post.  I'm sorry it has been marked as answered  because I did not understand the instruction at the bottom of the email I received in reply. I'm new to the Community.

Thank you for the reply I received, but I’m sorry to say that it did not solve my problem. I need to say that I’m using Windows Live Mail (WLM) not Outlook. I think that was clear from my post although I didn’t state that specifically. The solution offered was for Outlook.

I nevertheless followed the advice offered. I updated Windows through Windows Update, with the exception of Bing Desktop which I don’t want. This did not solve the problem.

I have now installed IE10 and deleted IE 9 cookies. I had high hopes with this because a friend who had WLM and IE10 can open emails that I can’t and that seemed to be the only difference. Sorry to say that it didn’t work.

If anyone has it, I would be grateful for advice specifically on Windows Live Mail please.
