Windows Live Mail cannot use contacts of Exchange mail directly.

OT: Windows Live Mail Vs Window Mail App.

Hello,

I generally use Windows Mail App (windows 8.1) but as it lacks some features I thought of using Windows Live mail 2012 (part of windows essentials) now I'm facing some issues (listed below):

1. In Windows Mail App (App) we can configure our office mails (by adding Exchange type) and the email account works fantastically; where as in Windows Live Mail (LiveMail)** we have to set up exchange mail (office mails) either  using IMAP or POP type. so I setup as IMAP and it worked fine too.

2. In App the contact & Calender for the Exchange mail account is accessible directly whereas in LiveMail as its configured as IMAP account we cannot contacts of Exchange mail directly. but how to resolve this issue.

3. In addition to the point  2 I guess we have to configure the contact directory & Calender but how to get the configuration information for this. I tried a lot but could not succeed.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Nishant
