I have alternative email addresses set up in WLM that use gmail (i.e., *.gmail). These accounts can receive mail, but I receive a "cannot connect to server" error message when I attempt to send messages from these accounts.  I have set up identical accounts on two other computers (using WLM and IMAP), and they function normally.  Obviously, I am missing something!

 

Any guidance is appreciated.

Window 7 64 bit OS, WLM is default email client

 

1. for example at IE and want to send link by emai to another, i can do this by file->send->send by email, then WLM will be called and current link at IE will add to the email. But the link just added as 'text' but not 'url', which user can't just click the link and open it and needed to copy and paste to web browser to open the link.

    any config for this to let user to direct click and open the link? the default email format set as HTML already.

 

2. how to set default font of email? just tried at option->email->compose and seem not all fonts shown (at least can't find common font ike Arial/Times New Roman)

 

Thank a lot

I upgraded Outlook Express to Windows Live Mail.  My problem now is that I have a lot of different email accounts, and WLM will only scan for new emails for the first 36 email accounts listed.  Does anyone know how I can get around this limitation?  I have WLM on a XP Home SP3 machine, and a Win 7 laptop.  Thanks for any suggestions!
I used to be able to send voice clips, but now I can't. What's different is that I reinstalled Windows 7.

The strange thing is that when I go into "Set up audio and video devices" the microphone volume gauge picks up my voice. Not only this but I can have audio calls with friends and they can hear me. So it's clearly not a microphone driver issue (I can also use Windows built-in Voice Recorder without any issues). It also shows that WLM recognises my microphone AS working (as I can have audio calls). 

However, when I attempt to send a voice clip it says: The option to record voice clips is turned off.


This makes it seem like it's a choice...however when I go into Options...Messages. the ONLY bit about voice clips is under "Automatically accept when I receive" - this field, however, is faded out and I can neither tick or untick the box. 

Consequently, I can't receive voice clips either. 

Does anyone know why? Why can't I send/receive voice clips even though WLM acknowledges my mic. and speakers work....?
Opened wlm yesterday6 - message up saying windows was 'recovering storage folders' - all mail for past few days back in 'unread mail' and storage folders mainly there but contents jiggled - took me ages to sort it all out and then this morning I got the smae message - this time only the messages from yesterday came up and the storage folders look OK. Any ideas?

I was using my Windows Live Mail program to send an email.  A box popped up saying "verisign internet directory service" with all of these different email addresses when I forgot to put the @...com after the name I was sending it to.

 

Why is this part of WLM?  Why do I need to have access to email addresses of people I don't even know?  It listed ten or twelve different email addresses, all starting with the same five letters.

 

When I googled the verisign internet directory service, I did not get much information...
