  Found a very frustrating problem with WLM on my new Windows 7 implemented.   I've set up several groups within my contact list.  When I send an email not all people are sent to the email, but still when I go back to my group to see its members, everyone is in the list.  Now, I am gun shy and have to go back & re-check my e-mails to ensure that somebody didn't get the message.   Help!

• Unable to send e-mail to groups in Windows Live Mail

  * Original title: send 1 e-mail to the list of contacts (Group)

  I have Windows Live Mail and have made a group list of 159 names (on more than 1000 in my Contact list).  At least this is what I think that I did.

  I would like to send a bcc these 159 people without clicking each name individually.  I guess that there is a way to click on this group of 159 easily

  in the Bcc box, but I don't know how.

  Help!  Thank you!

  Hello Polly,

  Thanks for posting in Microsoft Communities. I apologize for the delay
  response and thank you for your time and patience.

  According to the description, I understand that you have created a group of 159 contacts and all by sending an e-mail with attachments, it is located in the folder Outbox for hours. Manipulate later you settings in the e-mail message.

  E-mail contacts can be saved as a group and sent both without selecting each contact individually. You can give a name to the Group and when you send an e-mail, you just type the name of the group in the field that you created. It's what we call a group name.

  To resolve this issue I suggest you uninstall and reinstall Windows Live
  Essentials.

  Note: Under uninstall Windows live essentials, make sure
  that you remember your settings and e-mail IDs.

  1. press Windows + C to open the bar of charms.
  2. click on the search icon.
  3 type of control panel and press ENTER.
  4. in the Control Panel, under
  Programs, click on uninstall a program.

• How to keep Windows Contacts to update if you use Windows Live Mail... only for iphone

  Dear people of MS,

  The guys at tech Windows Live forum helped me as much as they could, but suggested I bring my topic to give you is a question re: Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail (WLM).

  Anyway, I had a computer crash on my Vista computer (all data had been backed up fine - it is) but in the meantime I bought a notebook with Windows 7 above. I started to use WL Mail on my new computer and when I finally got my old a return of the boutique (Vista), I downloaded WL Mail so that I would use same program of electronic mail on both computers. It makes sense to me.

  However, I have since discovered that when my iphone syncs with my computer, it only picks up the contacts of my Contacts from Windows Messaging folder, and * not * those of my WL Mail one.

  Question: what do I do if I want to keep my Windows Mail contacts up to date, ensuring that all new Contacts that I have receipt/get through WLM are also in my Windows Contacts so that when I sync my iphone the iphone is up-to-date with Windows Contacts.

  Windows Mail Contacts are so easy to see and then move that WL those who are not. It's horrible!

  Can you please help - after reading a lot of posting on the website of Windows Live, I'm assuming that I need to import the WL Contacts in Contacts in Windows Messaging is that correct? Is there anything else I should know or should do?

  Thank you very much.

  Best,

  Psych :)

  Hey Psych13 and Gary,.

  Looks like you two neglected, first paragraph, of Halima. Just to summarize his position, it is not possible to synchronize contacts between Windows Live Mail and Windows Contacts. They don't like each other, there's bad blood there. :)

  Assuming that you have different contacts Contacts Windows and your Windows Live Mail, the third link posted Halima will help you to consolidate your contacts in a single application.

  And assuming that you need help to set up your iPhone to sync with Windows Live Mail, you can use the fourth link for help.

  Let me know if you have any questions!

• How can I import groups of Windows Mail contacts in Windows Live Mail?

  I work in a small office where we have computers running Windows Vista and using Windows Mail (version 6.0.6000.16388).  We have hundreds of contacts and a few contact groups on these computers.

  A few months ago, we got two new computers running Windows XP and Windows Live mail (version 2009, version 14.0.8089.0726).  Other computers at the office always have Vista and the other version of Windows Mail.

  I was able to export our hundreds of contacts and import them into Windows Live Mail for new computers have all the contacts... but I was unable to find a way to import groups.

  These groups are all very large and comprise mostly/entirely out of contacts that do not have individual contact entries.

  I've been Googling for a solution to this problem.  The page nearest you, that I could find was this:

  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/3818-Windows-Live-Mail-import-Vista-contacts-contact-groups.html

  I was very discouraged when I saw the big red warning to the top of the page:

  ---------------
  In the Groups of Contact with Vista, only contacts who are also included as normal Contacts will be imported into Windows Live Mail. Contacts that have been created for the Contact Group only will not be imported into Windows Live Mail. You will need to write these down and add them manually in Windows Live Mail.
  ---------------

  This pretty much described my situation exactly, but manually going through all groups, write all contacts, and then import them manually into two separate machines should always and is simply not an option.

  Are there really no other way I can get these groups into Windows Live Mail?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you very much!

  I have not actually tried this, but I think this method will work.

  1. get a free Live ID (or @hotmail.com or @live.com).

  2. install Windows Live Mail on Vista computer. During the installation, it will offer to signature with a Live ID. Do.

  3. the first performance of Windows Live Mail, it will be important to all contacts from Windows Mail. Give him enough time to synchronize all contacts with the web version of this Live ID.

  4. open Windows Live Mail on the new computer and then connect with the same Live ID. The automatic synchronization process will transfer in all contacts of the web version of this Live ID.

• Windows Live Mail Contacts problem...

  Hello...

  I could use some help.  : )

  Background: I installed Windows Live Mail on your laptop Windows 8.1.  Apparently somewhere during the process of adding additional e-mail accounts - Gmail account more specifically he asked do you want to include contacts.  I said yes!  Error!  It resulted in each contact showing 2 times on my Windows 7 laptop running Windows Live.

  Question: I have now each contact in my list of contacts twice.  It says 'address book' under the name and can be edited.  The other has no indication, and my best guess is that it's the Gmail account contact.

  That's what I see on laptops respective...  1.) 8.1 portable Windows - people shows only 1 time contact.  (2.) for laptop Windows 7 - Windows Live shows each 2 times contact

  Tried: 1) software, Windows Live has two contacts.  2.), remove all contacts in Gmail, Windows Live still has these two contacts.

  I'm at a lost how do I solve this problem...  Thanks for your help.

  Sandi

  I do not believe that your explanation of how this happened is quite accurate. If you add an e-mail account in Windows Live Mail, there is no question of whether contacts should be included - email and contacts are completely separate processes in Windows Live Mail.

  If you see contacts in Windows Live Mail, which are not ' of address book ", then you must be signed in to Windows Live Mail with a Microsoft Account (which could be your Gmail account). If this account is connected to Google, Google contacts will eventually synchronize with Windows Live Mail. You cannot change these contacts in Windows Live Mail.

  To break the connection, click on the rightmost button on the home Ribbon tab and select view account information. Sign in to your account again, and then click permissions.
   
  1. click on services and applications Manage.
  2. click on Edit in the connected Google service you want to remove from your account
  3. click on remove this connection completely.
  4. click on Remove.

  Back in Windows Live Mail. Click again on the button to the right and select sign out of Windows Live Mail. Wait a few minutes, and then click New and connect. Check your list of contacts.

  E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

  My direct mail is sorted in alphabetical order by family name,

  It is not clear what you mean by this statement.

  • There is an option in the contacts window in kind (names) of > name -is that what you mean?
  • Or that, when you open / switch to the contacts window, you see a list sorted by last name?
  • Or that when you click on to... or start typing in the to... box in a message composition window, you see a list ('contact selector') sorted by family name?

  Only in contact with an e-mail address will appear in the "Chooser". The list includes names in alphabetical order. For contacts with a first name and a registered name , the list will be sorted based on the preference granted to sort by in the Contacts window. Contacts with multiple email addresses will appear once for each address with the address in brackets after the name.

  Name is a special value built by WLMail contact data fields. It will consist of the first match found during the analysis of the data fields in the following order:

  1. Nickname
  2. First name + last name (in the order specified to sort by in the Contacts window)
  3. First name or last name
  4. Company
  5. E-mail address
  As you start typing in of... box, WLMail will present a list of matching entries in your contacts list. You can start typing username, first name, first name, company, e-mail address to a contact or any significant word in the Notes field for this contact. So, if you type bil, for example, the list that appears will include
  • any person whose nickname starts with Bil, e.g. Billyboy
  • any person whose first name begins with Bil, e.g. of Bilbo Baggins
  • anyone whose first name begins with Bil, for example Jim Bilko
  • everyone whose company name starts with Bil, e.g. Billingsgate Market
  • everyone with an address of e-mail from bil bil or just after a period or the ' @' symbol, for example "the bilbo at hotmail dot com" or "jim to billingsgate dot com" or "jim.bilko at hotmail dot com.
  • all categories whose name contains a word starting with bil

• I can't find how to create a group list rom installed contacts window Live Mail contact.

  Recently installed Live mail and as far as I can see there is no place to create a group list to send more than one person at5 e-mail once.  I couldn't transfer my list of Outlook 2002 Group to live mail;

  Given that you wrote "recently installed Live mail...". ", I assume you meant Windows Live Mail 2011 .

  If not, please ignore the following.

  If Yes...
  Open WLM 2011 > at the bottom left, click the icon that represents Contacts

  

  at the top, click on category (category = group) > enter the name of the Group > select contacts who will be in the Group > click Save when done.

  

• How can I create groups"in my list of Contacts Windows Live Mail?

  I could easily create "Groups" for e-mailing to multiple receipents in Outlook Express.  Now with Windows Live Mail, it seems impossible.  Is there a way to create "groups" in WLM?  And, if so, why their No. easily accessible way to accomplish?

  Windows Live Mail does not groups, but you can get much the same effect by using the categories. Here are a few comments that should help you: what happened to contact groups? Although they are part of Windows Live Mail 2011, you should be able to adapt to the 2009 version.
