Windows Mail and Calendar don’t work.

I have been using Windows Live Mail and Outlook for emails, and Outlook for calendar.

I started trying to use Mail and it simply isn't working. When I click on the syncing symbol, I get the "line of dots moving from left to right" for a minute or so, then the message that syncing has failed, and "we didn't find anything to show here".

As well as my @live.co.uk email address, I now also have another one, (plus.com) which I added as another account to Mail, and then removed again, as it didn't seem to make any difference.

I would like to be able to use Mail for email, with both these email addresses. How can I do this?

I would like to be able to copy my address list from "People" to Mail. How do I do this?

I would like to be able to copy all the information on my Outlook Calendar to the Calendar app but there seems to be a problem with syncing this too. How do I do this?

(I have tried the instructions in the "Help" pages, to no avail, so there is no point in directing me to them.)
