Cannot open an attachment pdf from windows live mail, they are opened in word

Until last week, I don't have any problems at the opening of pdf files for attachments in my email, now, they are open automatically in word, which does not work.   Yes I have the adobe reader software, and yes I have fixed and repaired the adobe reader software.  I tried to find where in the settings are the default settings for e-mail, but unfortunately could not find mail.  I saw in the previous forums it seems to be a current problem.  I don't want to save each attachment to the office where I can open it with adobe, nor do I want to change to Foxit reader as I have no problems so far.  I think there may have been a problem with updates.  There, can someone help me.

Thank you very much

Create a file association.
 

1. download and save the attachment to the office.
2. right click on the saved file.
3. Select: Open with on the shortcut menu.
4. click on: choose [default] program.
5. Select: Adobe Reader.
6. check: always use the selected program to open this type of file.
7. click on OK.
 

This should allow you to open these attachments directly from email address now.

  • After saving the emails from windows live mail, why not open them on my computer as the file extension is wlmail.fol?

    After saving the emails from windows live mail, why not open them on my computer as the file extension is wlmail.fol?

    wlmail.fol is a tiny text giving the name of the folder. The exported messages will have filenames like 00D13E83 - 000025DF.eml. If you don't see all of the files like this, your export probably did not work properly.

    For a successful export, follow these directions:

    1. Set Windows Live Mail to work offline before starting.
    2. Create a temporary folder on your desktop * to contain the exported messages.
    3. In the Export Wizard, select the temporary folder, and then select all the folders.* *
    4. When it is complete, check that the number of files in each folder to the temporary folder is one more than the number of messages in the corresponding folder of WLMail.
    5. Copy the temporary file to its final destination.
      If you use a reader not NTFS to do this, you will see a warning that certain file properties will not be copied files. This can be ignored.

    * Windows Live Mail do not work with files that are not on a local drive, as opposed to an external or network drive. This is avoided by using the office as a temporary folder location. 
    * If you want to export the files sampled only, select each of them containing messages. Subfolders are not automatically selected by default.

  • How to export my contacts from Windows Live Mail on XP

    I searched for this answer for the last 2 hours.  All the answers are for Vista & Windows 7.   How to export my Windows Live Mail addresses so that I can use in Thunderbird?  I'm moving to Thunderbird because quick view is off & on display unread messages.  They watch for a few days, then stop broadcasting.  Then repeat for a few days, then stop again.  This is happening for more than a month because there was an update of the first part of the last month.
    But back to my original question.  How to export my contacts from Windows Live Mail.  When I click on the file to export and then export, there is nothing highlighted.   So, how can I get my contacts?  Or is there another way to do otherwise than through WLM >

    Thank you

    This is happening for more than a month because there was an update of the first part of the last month.

    There has been no update for WLMail 2009 since April 2010. Update do you think has affected your quick view?

    How to export my contacts from Windows Live Mail.

    Open the contacts window by clicking the address book at the foot of the folders pane. On the file menu, click export , and then select comma separated (CSV) values. If you don't see the menu bar, press ALT.

    Note that the last statement on the help page (Export contacts) is wrong: by dragging the window contacts contacts on the desktop doesn't create any kind of file. In version 12 and 15, this produces a vCard (.vcf) file for each contact, but not in the version 14 (WLMail) 2009.

    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. In WLMail to find your version of the software, a press on ALT - H. If it doesn't show you the version and the build number, press on escape to two times, and then Alt - F B.

  • How to send creative emails from Windows live mail to windows 98 2000 XP have received written and created.

    I create an artistic email in windows live mail and is not received, as I wrote with backgrounds and colors or sometimes even the script, by older versions of windows, IE:-2000 - XP, it happens always modified capacity versions to which it is sent, how is it overcome? Should it be sent in another format as an attachment, a message in a message, so that put and how do you do that?

    Sincerely Graham J mobbs

    Windows Live Mail does not allow scripts and other aspects of dynamic HTML.  If you have a message from OE or Windows Mail (Vista) that has these capabilities so you can send this message as a file as an attachment in a message eml and which will then open in OE or WinMail on the recipient machine.  Or you can rename it to eml to mht and who will then open in Internet Explorer on the recipient end.  But impossible to use WLM to compose such a message, as these features were eliminated in it.
     
    There are other options to overcome these limitations in Windows Live Mail, so that users can continue to be creative in their e-mail.  Seewww.oehelp.com/OEnWin7.aspx for some of them.

  • How to import my AddressBook and emails from Windows Live Mail 2011 in Thunderbird?

    My new ISP had problems with Windows Live Mail so I'm now using Thunderbird for the first time. I've never used T-bird before so keep the simple instructions.

    A picture is worth a thousand words, they say.

    Apparently, the choices are slightly different after 5 years. "Import all messages from a directory '

    In the toolbar, click address book. On the Tools menu, select Import and specify the file type.

    I'm talking about opening a CSV file in a spreadsheet hereto clean up the columns and positions because it is much easier to use tools of import from Thunderbird to make. (they crack on this task)
