E-mail using OE and Windows Live Mail

I have a computer running xp with Outlook Express and a computer of Windows 7 with Windows Live Mail. What happens if they are both on the same email address? E-mail will go to one or the other or both?

Both, if you configure them properly.
 
In OE: Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - Check: leave a copy of messages on the server.
 
In WLMail: Menu button. Options | Email accounts | This email account | Properties | Advanced. Check: Leave a copy of messages on the server.
 
On an e-mail client only check to delete messages after X days to satisfy your allocated space that you get from your server.

  • Sorry, something unexpected has occurred and Windows Live Mail should close.

  • XP SP3, and Windows Live Mail, when I receive a file .htm as an attachment to an e-mail, it's a file 'blocked '. How can I prevent this from happening.

    Win XP SP3 and Windows Live Mail. I get emails from my office surveillance video. The e-mail has an attachment '.htm '. When I double click the file .htm in the email, it starts Internet Explorer 8 and must upload a short video clip and display it. The fly in the soup seems to be the fact that the .htm file is "locked".

    He can be unlocked by saving it to disk and using Windows Explorer to display its properties, and then click the button "Unblock" - but it's just a "work around".

    From what I read on Microsoft sites, the .htm files are not considered to be dangerous - or are? So why are they blocked? And how do I prevent it?

    I listen carefully!

    Thank you very much Halima, maybe you helped me to focus, in any case I eventually find a switch in Windows Live Mail, which was causing my pain.

    In Windows Live Mail, go to TOOLS-online the SECURITY OPTIONS-online SECURITY => and UNCHECK the line "do not allow opening or saving attachments that could contain a virus.

    Problem solved - thank you for your time and effort.

  • What is the difference between Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail?

    Separated from this thread.

    I realize that starting from 7/11, Windows Live is more effective on my Windows Vista system.  I understand that and I have since beengetting my Hotmail acc't workingusing only Windows Live Mail.  This am, I tried to create a new account hotmail for my friend, but we couldn't get it to accept and just stopped trying.  Now, today, I can not send any e-mail because "you cannot configure Windows Mail to use a web (HTTP) that is running Windows Vista based."  WHA?  I managed somehow to get into Windows Live when I tried to get a new account hotmail for my friend?  Also, I also receive a message from the Assistant on "you want to want to leave, you have not created your new account?  (probably not the exact wording).  In response, I clicked Yes and no, and still I can't get out of this Windows Live.  I would like to purge my system of this needless to Windows Live and only use Windows Live Mail.  Can someone help me to do this?  (My knowledge of couputer is at a basic level, so hopefully it won't be too difficult to understand.)  Thank you!!!

    (With the HTTP mess), it seems Windows Mail and Windows LIVE Mail are two very different things.

    I am not a technician, but try to stay up-to-date. I have known that Vista sucks because it came out, but it surprised me, never have used before today. So I wonder...  Windows LIVE Mail can be installed on a Vista unit, and if so he would remove the format HTTP bug? It's all THE Microsoft, after all! On my PC with Windows 7 HP with complete Essentials, including Live Mail (for PC, to avoid confusion with the version online), I have not had any problems to Hotmail at work, send or receive. GMail also, no problem, the only thing I did NOT like about Live Mail is that it doesn't have the handy function "Sweep" that I love, I just go online to own things very quickly. With only Windows Mail (which I assume is supplied with Vista), it won't let me even try to set-up Hotmail/Outlook account. It's stupid, because like I said it's all EM!

    peace ~

    Windows Mail is the e-mail that comes with client program and a part of Windows Vista. Windows Live Mail is a program available for free download; It is an e-mail client, the timing, the Manager contacts, aggregator and newsreader at a single feeding program.

    Until a few years ago, it was possible to synchronize the Hotmail accounts with e-mail clients on Windows XP and Vista (Outlook Express and Windows Mail respectively) using WebDAV over HTTP protocol. This method has been deprecated after a long sequence of initialization in September 2009. Before that date, POP3 access has been made available for all Hotmail accounts. At any time it was not possible to access Hotmail email clients accounts. There is no bug involved here, nor in HTTP format or anything else.

    Windows Live Mail is built to use a different former WebDAV protocol; DeltaSync protocol allows the synchronization of e-mail folders, contacts, and calendars between client and server.

    You may be able to download the installer for Windows Live Mail 2011 of this page: How to install Windows Essentials while offline? Do not try to include Windows Live Writer or Messenger in the installation; None of them will work and you can gum up toward the top of the entire installation Essentials if you do. It may be better to stick to one mail at first. Windows Live Mail 2011 is the latest version which runs on Vista.

  • Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail

    Is it possible to have too many Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail installed on a Dell Vista computer?  I have Windows Mail to a business e-mail and want to download Windows Live Mail for personal use.  When I go tohttp://explore.live.com/windows-live-mail it does give me an option to upgrade that I assume will be completely removed from my Windows Mail program.  Is is possible to download the Live Mail without remove/upgrade the small Windows Mail?

    Windows Live Mail can run along the coast of WinMail without problem.

    Windows Live Mail (presentation, features & download)
    http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview

    If this download offers a upgrade, check in Control Panel | Add/Remove programs and look for Windows Live Essentials. Perhaps it is already installed and you are not aware.

    Download and set up WLMail will not remove WinMail or its content. It may become the default program and it can import your messages and contacts, but WinMail is not assigned the case. All messages or imported files can be deleted if desired.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones UK - mail and Windows Live Messanger

    Hello

    My first post here, but I got my BB a while, just never got roud to juggle with it and try to get the apps I want. First and foremost I want to mail and Windows Live Messanger for IMs, addressing Phones4U where I got my contract, they said I need to buy their email Plan to access Emails 'push' (at the moment I don't have an option for setting up my own email addresses). Just to confirm that this is true, if yes it would probably be more easy for me to buy just the increased data plan and access e-mail through hotmail.com (I don't sent them that much).

    However, I use MSN a lot. I tried to download AppsStore, I tried going to www.blackberry.com/messenger, and I tried to download from my PC via my USB wire into the phone. Every time that he told me that I meet the system requirements. When I go to 'About' on my BB it says I have a BB 8900 smartphone v4.6.1.76 (Platform 4.2.0.62) and my status says I have 112 mb of available storage.

    Y at - it something I am doing wrong? Should I be on a payment plan to access the app store? In addition, with MSN it charges you? I have unlimited SMS with my payment plan, but I should also use internet data extended as well?

    See you soon,.

    Alex

    Well, I know not what you mean by 'web n 'walk', but if you have no data plan and browse internet strictly via WiFi, so I think that you actually fail condition 4. If I am correctly Recalling, AppWorld must flow through a data plan as well as the income of everyone in the data stream (developer, Distributor, carrier, RIM, etc) can all be properly credited for sale (Yes, I know that some are free - but it's a sale nonetheless).

  • What is the difference between Windows Live Mail and Windows Live Hotmail

    I have a laptop with Windows 7 and 'Windows Live Mail account'.   It seems to work very well! About 11 months later, I bought a desktop computer with Windows 7 and I tried and tried to get this computer to the top in the same way, but with a different e-mail account.  Whenever I try to set up mail, it always comes back with Windows Live HotMail.  My question is: is there a difference between accounts "Windows Live Mail" and "Windows Live Hotmail?"  If there is a difference, why can't I created a NEW Windows LIve Mail account on my new desktop computer if I use an email 'different '?

    Internet service provider (ISP) - those that you get your Internet from.

    Email Service Provider - the people who provide you your e-mail services (usually can be understood by your email address - as @hotmail.com, Hotmail/Windows Live Mail or @gmail.com average Google mail...) Etc.

    Email Client - the application on your computer that you use to send and receive email from your provider.  Could be Microsoft Outlook (all versions), Windows Live Mail, Thunderbird, or you can simply use Internet Explorer/Firefox/Safari/opera and so on to connect to the web interface of your e-mail Service provider and consult your emails in this way.

  • Installed Windows 7 and windows live mail, how can I import my emails (.dbx files) of Outlook Express 6 in XP.___Jackson

    I tried everything, I use import in windows live, but the messages do not appear in the additional email account. Changed all Office win7 .dbx files, they seem to be important but do not appear in the email client. I tried everything, and read all that, short of ideas.
    Any help, greatly appreciated.

    Jackson9

    Thanks for the help, finally understand it a day or two ago, it is important in a storage folder, it WILL NOT put it in the mail client, you have to find the storage folder. who is buried deep (C:\Users\***\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\Storage Folders\Imported Folder\Local folder) in the C drive, and then copy and paste in the files, one folder by one. BTW, the link refers to the import of Vista, Win7 not. The process does not work in Win7

    Hello

    What browser do you use?

    That is to say, can we try it in a slightly different way.

    In step 4 above, you should see the name that he will use in the Save dialog box. Change the extension of htm to reg and then click Save.

    This should create you can then double-click the correctly named file.

    I think your problem with the name change, it's that you have folder options set to hide known extension. We could change this option, but you may want you defined this way, so it is easier to meanings.

    Good luck - we will get there.

  • Conflict between the settings of the computer and Windows Live Mail

    I have a conflict between my computer settings, Windows Live Mail and Windows Live Hotmail/Calendar.  When the computers ' regional and Language Options | Date - short Date Format"settings are set to"dd-MMM-yy"is in conflict with the Windows Live Mail and Windows Live Hotmail/Calendar 'date of birth and birthday' date formats.  Whenever a date is placed in the Windows Live Mail "birth date and birthday" field the date in the field becomes "mm/dd/yy" which generates a conflict in date format.  Enter "mm/dd/yyyy" in the date field of "birth date and birthday" in Windows Live Mail when your computer settings are set to "dd-MMM-yy" and Windows Live Mail passes the numbers 'mm and JJ '.  Is there a solution?  I'd like to see dd-MMM-yy on my computer.
