Aug 2017  1. In the last 2 weeks, Windows Live Mail suddenly (after behaving for years) has done these strange things -

a) shows in the preview pane some emails I just sent with my  own email address as the ‘Sent to’, not who I really sent them to; yes they seem to have been sent to those recipients… ; b) some emails received seem duplicates i.e. appear twice in the preview pane but the seemingly identical 2^nd one often will not open; c) Twice an email I’d seemingly sent , when I turn off Windows Live Mail it says I have unsent emails, do I wish to send? Today I clicked yes and it seemed to send (but what has it sent? - as it seemed all had already gone OK?) but last time, it kept saying it could not send them…

2.  Also I wish to keep the old emails I'd sent & received in 2 previous email addresses via Windows LIve Mail, but I do not wish those old email addresses to start taking over as default and sending emails I have drafted in my new and only current email address; but they do do this from time to time!  - can you please advise me how to prevent this?

 Thanks very much.
