Configure Outlook Web Access in Windows Live Mail

Is is possible to implement the https://mail.server.edu (where server is the name of my employer) in Windows Live Mail so I don't have to keep connected to the school server over and over again to see if I have mail?

Thank you! Their computer scientists do not know what I mean. :)

  • Import of Outlook Express 6 in Windows Live Mail e-mail

    Hello

    This has been addressed several times before, but I am struck errors whenever I try to perform an import.

    I indicated Live Mail of Win7 in the sense of a perfectly fine case contain two XP Outlook Express 6's *.dbx files imported those files into Outlook and have exported to a *.pst file (in the same folder).

    During an attempt or import I get the same message: "no messages are located in this folder or another application is using the files.

    Whereas the process is so simple I can't work on what I'm doing wrong.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    See you soon.

    I indicated Live Mail of Win7 in the sense of a perfectly fine case contain two XP Outlook Express 6's *.dbx files imported those files into Outlook and have exported to a *.pst file (in the same folder).

    Location of OE message store:

    In OE: Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

  • Need help: moving from Outlook 2000 to Windows Live Mail

    I would like to ask my question/problem to be seen by someone who is an expert in your e-mail programs (Outlook, Windows Live Mail, etc.). Thank you!

    Here's the scenario:

    (1) we have a PC of office 9 years old who is replaced.  The operating system is Windows XP Home Edition - SP 2.  This PC runs a Microsoft Office 2000 Professional for ever... including Outlook 2000, which we use for our home e-mail accounts.

    2) there are 2 users on this PC (myself & my wife).  Outlook 2000 is configured in a way that allows both of us to share these same accounts. Regardless of whether I am connected to the computer or that it is recorded, when launch us Outlook, we are all two accesses to the same ".pst" file with the same Messages, the same Contacts & calendar.  (There are currently 2 set POP3 e-mail accounts in place of our provider (Verizon) that both feed into the same Inbox reception & records).

    (3) the old PC is replaced by a new system of office under Windows 7 Home Premium.  The new system came preloaded with Microsoft Office 2007 - Home & Student edition - comprising STEPS of Outlook.

    (4) outlook is a great program, but also because it's like a desktop messaging system, it's really more that most need people for the welcome e-mail.  We therefore decided to try Windows Live Mail on our new computer.

    (5) I've copied the ".pst file ' of our old PC to the new & attempted to import the messages into Live Mail.  Live Mail did not provide an option to import this format - only Outlook Express 6, Windows Mail & Windows Live Mail itself seem to be supported.

    (6) I read a message board entry online (can't remember where) that said that Outlook 2000 is not in a format that is compatible with Live Mail.  So, on our old computer XP, I opened OUTLOOK EXPRESS & imported all messages, contacts and calendar entries in Outlook 2000 ".pst" file.  The problem is: I don't know what to do next!  Everything is imported in Outlook Express on the old PC, but I don't know the name of the file they are or what I should do to get the Live Mail on the new PC to see.  The Dell tech support technicians were absolutely no help at all, I have turned to you all!

    Here are my questions:

    Can I configure Windows Live Mail to work in the same way that Outlook 2000 - shared between 2 users?  Our provider allow multiple e-mail addresses.  They all do not have to feed in boxes receive same account, but for myself & my wife, I would like to be able to see the Archives of message even when we are connected.

    In addition, my wife got a new Windows 7 laptop.  Would it not possible to 'network' of the ".pst" file in a shared folder so that each computer can see it in Live Mail?  (It would be a "friendlier", but it isn't a necessity by all means).  Or Live Mail not use same ".pst"?

    Or do we forget Live Mail completely & buy Outlook 2007?

    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

    Dexter

    You do all the right things!  To find the folder that contains the Outlook Express files on the old XP computer, click Tools > Options > maintenance > store folder .  Copy this folder on the Windows 7 computer.  Then import Microsoft Outlook Express 6 on Windows Live Mail through this folder.

    Windows Live Mail supports multiple e-mail accounts.  Each has its own set of folders (Inbox, sent, deleted items, etc.).

    Only Outlook uses ".pst" files  I don't know of any way to share a file between two computers ".pst".  You can set up e-mail on computers programs to read the same incoming messages.
