contacts first name last name live mail

I use Windows Live Mail on Windows 7. When I enter a new contact, he invites me to enter in the "first name" and "last name". I'm doing this, but when I use the contact in a new e-mail message, it always displays the contact as "LASTNAMEFIRSTNAME. I can outsmart him by reversing my entry to the first name in 'last name' and the name 'first name', but it's crazy to do.

In addition to say Ron, for future information, Windows Live Mail doesn't not part of Windows, it is a part of Windows Live Essentials. (Yes I know the name of this forum is confusing!)

  • Shortcut on the desktop of contacts in windows 7-windows live mail

    My new computer replacement provided with Windows 7 and Windows Live Mail installed as my email client.  I have been using it and it.  I was also put my contacts in the folder of Live Mail contacts within this program.  Since the file allows other information in addition to the email, I would like to use as my contacts folder by default/hand/don't touch that file, but I want to have a shortcut on the desktop to access the full file of contacts directly without having to open the complete e-mail program.  I tried in vain to drag a copy to the desktop, locate the program in live mail and create the shortcut to a file that opens the list of contacts.  I also noted and found a file of contacts under c/users/chick who looks like and contains the same information on a contact (it has the face of the same user) identical to the contacts in the folder of Windows Live e-mail but does not contain contact information that I already have in the program Live Mail and apparently isn't the same folder.  How can I create a shortcut on my desktop that opens just the contacts folder in the windows program live mail?  I could also ask the same question on the calendar in windows live mail.  Thank you, chick.

  • 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.

  • 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!

    I'm new to Windows 8 and has been using Outlook Express 6 on Windows XP before that. I need help to transfer the contacts from outlook to Windows Live Mail 8. It would also help if someone can help me with a kind of tutorials or something so I can use Windows 8 in an optimal way. Thank you!

    In Outlook Express, compact you files first.
     

    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

    In Windows XP the OE User (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.
     

    Note: If any DBX file is over 300 MB, return to OE and move some messages from the folder related to a new user created folder and compact down the size of the file.
     

    For addresses:
     

    Open the address book in OE and file | Export | Address book (wab) and save it to the desktop. Copy it to a flash drive. Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail.
