I recently purchased a Dell Laptop with Windows 8.1.  After using Easy Transfer to move files from current laptop to new one, everything transfers and works properly EXCEPT Windows Live Mail (Download through Windows Essentials 2012).

In fact, Live Mail worked before I did the Easy Transfer.  Now, I can't get 2011 or 2012 to work after multiple downloads (uninstalling current version each time), using the Repair function and even double checking the graphics driver per one suggestion. 

I'm using Roadrunner which has a POP server so I can't use the email that came with 8.1, hence the need for Live Mail.  I've downloaded Thunderbird and that works just fine, just a pain to transfer all the emails.

This should be seamless but nothing is posted that really helps. 

Anyone have a SIMPLE solution that does not take a professional to make it work?
