When you back up Windows Live Mail storage on WD EHD files it says its going to take 10-20 hours?

I noticed that all other transfers files to my WD EHD have always been "quite chilly.
I want to save my Docs, Vids My, My DVD my photos etc with many different file formats,
numbers of & sizes much larger than my backup folders of WLM storage.
I tried to save WLM backup to different external HD, Flash Drives & direct burning to DVD disc &
all are very slow with flow rates up to 4 bytes/sec display!
The fastest was direct on DVD but still hours.
That is why I thought it was the specific issue of WLM, but found no solution on Windows Live related forums.
My backup folders of WLM current storage consists of 576 MB, 7019 files & folders 92

Appreciate any new ideas or solutions you might have for the same problem?

See you soon

  • Windows Live Mail lost from the storage boxes

    I have also returned to Windows 7 from Windows 10 and have lost 2 subfolders of storage that contains about 1000 emails.

    My Telco provider said it is not their problem, because I can still send and receive mails to my optus email address.

    Help, please.  Thank you.

    Your email provider is correct.  Not their fault.

    Many of my clients use WLM.  I've seen this before.  Quite frankly, in all cases I've seen, is the user who did this to themselves by accidental deletion, or involuntary movement of a folder inside or another folder.  In the latter case, the file I not lost, just misplaced.

    Watch very carefully each of your folders displayed on the initial screen of WLM.  Some of them have very light yellow color on the left arrows.  These arrows mean that there is a folder inside this folder.  They can even be nested many layers deep.  Investigate all these cases and see if you can find them.

    If you do regular backups, this could be retrieveable.  Here's how:

    How to back up the usual way WLM:

    Mailing address:

    1. Click on this same arrow at the top left, choose Export mail, emails, Windows Live Mail
    2. It will ask you where to write the file and you can direct to your external storage device

    Contacts:

    1. Go to the section Contact in WLM (the third icon in the lower left)
    2. Choose export values separated by commas
    3. Navigate to the location where you want the backup to be stored on your external hard drive and the name of the file, click on save, then place a check in each box, click OK

    Restoring this backup is another story.  I'm not going in there now, but if you need further assistance on that come here.

    Here's another tip WLM.

    WLM contains all your data in a folder that is located about 7 levels deep.  It is hidden.  There is no good reason, I don't know to bury him there.  I move just at the level of C: in a folder named (email yourname).  Then when I do backups, I copy this folder to my back upwards as well as the usual WLM backup procedure.

    The beauty of this record is that if you ever have to move to another computer, you can move this folder to the new computer and have everything just as it was in the old.  This includes even calendars providing no se backup feature.

    To move:

    Click on this small blue rectangle with the arrow inside, then choose Options, mail

    Click the Advanced tab, then interview, and then store the file

    Click on edit and then move into the new folder that you just created to C: or whenever you choose.

    And then click OK.

    Nothing will change until you stop WLM and then restart.  At that time there WLM to happen to the new location.  Nothing will be lost or changed

  • Please tell me how to backup Windows Live Mail on a Windows XP-based computer

    I don't want the program that does it for you, I mean go into the directory and the backup of the .eml.  What I call the way '' look under the hood. '' Thanks in advance.

    If you just want to save the .eml files manually, you might as well just save the messages as .eml files.
     
    Create a Windows folder on your desktop or elsewhere and then in WLMail, open the folder that contains the messages you want to save. Highlight a message, and then Ctrl + A will highlight all (or Ctrl-button down while you select only messages you want), now, drag and drop them into the folder on your desktop. (They there will be records WLMail.)
     
    Now you can copy this folder to a CD or flash, and they can be moved if necessary WLMail.

  • Windows Live Mail Contacts section

    In the section contacts Windows Live Mail if I drag a contact of 'All the Contacts' in a subfolder how to remove the contact from the 'All Contacts' section while keeping in the subfolder?

    The system of contacts in Windows Live Mail does not use the folders or subfolders. What you see are categories, which are more like labels. Learn more about the categories here: what happened to contact groups?

  • Why don't the 'Contacts' remain locked in "categories" I put them in? I use Windows Live Mail

    I use windows 7, Windows Live Mail, and I went through all worthwhile to create categories 'A', 'B' & "C." as I created each category I placed my 'Contacts' in each of them. I did until I got all Contacts "in the"category I wanted. "

    When I tried to send and email to all the contacts in category A. I wrote the email, went to the TO: button and clicked on it, and all three categories, with all my jumbled autour contacts have been identified.

    How can I fix this? Is it possible to lock the names in the category? This is getting ridiculous, instead of making things easier for us, Microsoft seems to do just the opposite.

  • Help, please! 100 e-mail exporting do not in files exported from the old Windows Live Mail to the new computer laptop

    I just bought a new laptop, have both Windows 7 and both have Windows Live Mail. I have several folders in the program my old portable Windows Live Mail and hundreds of emails in each folder. I experienced the process of export of emails every day now and no matter how I try (one folder at a time, highlighting of the emails in the said folder, simply choose the Inbox - as all the files I have are subfolders in the Inbox) - I can not send more than one in each folder when I imported the emails into the new Windows Live Mail. Why please? Please can someone explain how to copy every email in each folder on my new laptop it please!

    The properties which means the message are added to the file by Windows to make it possible to find e-mail messages by property (as of and object). If the memory stick is not formatted in NTFS, the properties of these files can be preserved. It is of no real consequence; Windows will just write again when the messages end up on a drive formatted in NTFS. So: either the memory stick format NTFS, or answer Yes to the prompt to copy files without their properties.

  • How to make a backup of Windows Live mail

    I need to reformat my pc to Win 7 64 bit. I need to backup my emails in Windows Live Mail. I can't use the automatic backup program because I have too many emails and I never got to work. (Quick save)?  I need the location of the directory of email and instructions on how to transfer them to an external support. Then, I need instructions on how to re-import them in own WLM program after reformatting. Thanks in advance.

    Go to the folder where all "libraries" are and make sure you are showing all records - there should be the my documents, Favorites, etc., but it must be marked "appdata".  From there, go to "local", "Microsoft", "Windows Live Mail" and there are all the accounts and records of storage of Windows live mail - you can drag and drop them to a flash drive, DVD, CD, or other external media you have.

    No 'extra' required backup program!  It's almost the same as the old path of Outlook Express, you have just to make sure that the "AppData" folder is visible, but it should be easy to display.

  • How to import Windows Live Mail storage folders in Thunderbird

    I am trying to import the .eml files that I have in storage files in WLM in Thunderbird. Of the help section on Thunderbird:

    Windows Mail (.eml files) in Thunderbird import is enabled by ImportExport third-party add-on tools. Download and install this add-on to transfer messages from Windows Live Mail into Thunderbird.

    However, import Tools is an as file and my computer (Windows 7) cannot open it. Although I found an online program that convert into something readable, my software virus identified the program as malware. Does anyone know a way to safely convert a file as something Windows can recognize and run?

    Or y at - it another way to get this add-on to run?

    You should have a new tab under tools at the bottom that says "import/export - tools".
    You can watch modules / Modules to see if
    ImportExportTools is installed and activated. The choice of installation it is probably fine as it is.

    I did it in Outlook Express with the deleted mail.
    Unfortunately, in Windows Live Mail it deleted all the mail.

    That's why WLMail requires you to reject a warning message before deleting an account:

    There is a folder named backup under
    C:\Documents and Settings\

    What is in the present, and I can use it to restore the emails that I deleted when I deleted an account.

    The backup folder contains a copy of the message database, which is only an indication of your messages. It does not contain the messages themselves.

    You may be able to recover a portion of your messages (.eml files) by using a utility like Recuvaundelete. The sooner you act, the most successful, it is likely to be.

    Windows Live Mail has its own support at the Windows Live Solution Centerforums. Please address any other question you may have on one of the forums on the right side of this page. You are probably asked to give your version of WLMail and Windows so that the answer may be more accurate.
