I have several group contact lists in the Contacts folder, half the time when sending to a group it fails and requires me to add a valid email address, when the group is there and correct.
if i copy the email addresses from a file and paste them in the the send box they are sent correctly.
The other half of the time particularly with a large group say 60 addresses it sends but when i examine the sent folder the email has gone to only a dozen of the contacts, not all 60.
I 've reinstalled live mail 2012 twice, Repaired Live Mail, rebooted the computer this seems to have had no effect.
I have noticed if I have any other programme loaded ie Word, excel, this increases the likelyhood of a group email send being a failure. I have Outlook 2003 pinned to the taskbar mainly used for the calendar and task functions.
Yet at some times it works for a while, then half an hours later it fails. It seems to work more reliably after a reboot for a short period.
Is there any solution to this problem of Live mail unreliability,
Outlook express was much better at group mail, i never had problems with it, but it is not available for win7.
If I open a Group Contacts in Live mail and select a group I can send an email successfully to all members from the Group folder. But you cannot copy the list of email addresses from the group folder and paste them into the TO box in the mail folder.
This function is of no use when dealing with forwarding emails to a Group.
Unfortunately I am required to forward documents etc to various Group contacts, on a daily basis and have concluded that Live mail Group contact functions are so unreliable they cannot be trusted to do the job. As a work around I hold lists of email
addresses in an excel worksheet and copy and paste into the To box as required.
