E-mail without the whole "Live Essentials" package?

Just picked up a new computer laptop casing, equipped with Windows 7 Professional. My first priority is to get the email up & running. It seems that I have to download all of the "essentials" package, but I would keep this new computer to be a mess, cluttered with stuff I don't need. Is it possible to get the Live Mail without all the other stuff in this download package?

Thank you, Bruce. "Traps" be wary when importing my OE files? It seems too simple. This day was going well so far. On the old machine, I backed up the files, made a "compact all", save it again (separately). Live Mail is * really * drag in all old folders & subfolders, or should I start drinking beforehand?   :-)

I would certainly have a loan.  ;)

What do you mean by 'separately? You want the full OE store folder and you need to put it on the Win7 machine. Do not try to import from a flash drive or other media.

Transfer of data from Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail:

For Messages:

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.

Compress your OE folders:
http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm#compact

Copy the * ENTIRE * OE message store folder to a flash drive. (Folders.dbx should be included). Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail.

V-2011/2012: Menu button. Import Messages. Microsoft Outlook Express 6, and the point where it was saved.

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 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.

For WLMail 2009: Open list of Contacts in WLMail, (go |) Contacts in the Menu bar) and the file | Import | Address book (wab) Windows and the point where you saved it.

WLMail 2011/2012: switch to the contacts window (click on the book icon to the address at the foot of the folder pane (or press Ctrl-3).) Click on the import button, select address book (wab) Windows and point on where it was saved.

Note: If you use a CD or a DVD instead of a flash drive, after placing on the new machine you must remove the read-only attribute in the properties before you import.

For the account settings:

In OE: Tools | Accounts, select the account and export it to the desktop. This will be an .iaf file. Copy it to the new desktop computer.

For WLMail 2011: The Menu button. Options | E-mail accounts and import the settings from the location you saved the.

Account settings cannot import in WLMail 2012. If this isn't the case, you will have to do it manually.

  • How can I get rid of the Windows Live Essentials 2011 (KB2434419) update Windows Update?

    Hello

    I don't want to install this update I am happy with the versions I currently have programs that it covers.  I prefer to be able to update on an individual basis.  In some cases (for example, Movie Maker), I prefer the previous program in that they are trying to make me install.

    How can I get rid of him after the Windows Update notification?  The icon in the system tray is still here now because of this, and I always have to check when I connect if there are important updates that I really need and want.  It's a relatively minor thing but a little awkward anyway.

  • I now have a problem with the update for Windows Live Essentials 2011

    I don't understand how it happened, but maybe someone could enlighten me?

    First of all, I was informed of an update for Microsoft Security Essentials. So of course, I did the update because I didn't want to be protected.

    I don't know if this is related somehow. I think that my update understood also as a Windows Live Essentials package. When I checked my e-mail and instant messaging, I noticed that the format has changed, and now, I think it's the new WLM 2011.

    It may seem very nice and put up-to-date, but it caused a series of serious problems for me. Let me explain:

    First of all, I must clarify that I am disabled and use the speech recognition, Windows speech recognition Dragon NaturallySpeaking both, because I can't use my hands.

    In the original WLM before the update, if I were using Dragon NaturallySpeaking, I was able to dictate with great ease and had no problem. If I wanted to then send the email I would say just 'send' and e-mail would go. With WLM 2011, if I say that now, it does not work.

    It's just a problem that I have. The next problem is much larger. In some cases, Dragon NaturallySpeaking speech recognition will not work and I can't dictate anything. I then have to close WLM completely and then open it again. Then only, it'll work. This happens many times and it's very frustrating, as you can imagine for someone like me.

    Forgive me for saying, it may seem very well with all the new bells and whistles there, but it makes my life a misery at the moment. In my view, there are a lot of bugs that need to be sorted out first with her.

    My question is, can I go back to the original WLM somehow until the update meets my needs? Can I go back to the status quo when WLM 2010 worked well with speech recognition for me?

    If so, can someone tell me how to do what you please?

    If not, then how am I supposed to use these features now?

    Thank you

    Hi thiamine.
    Step 1:
    Make sure you have enough disk space on the hard drive.
    Step 2:
    Temporarily disable the Antivirus\Firewall, then check the issue. Sometimes they may be in conflict.
    Note: Please make sure that you enable the antivirus software\firewall after the test to keep your computer protected.

  • Windows Live Essentials (Beta) install problems

    Following the crash of my MSN Messenger (which was after a recommended update; the "Windows Live Essentials")... On the list of recommendations for "problem reports and solution." I read about Windows Live Essentials Beta, which I've tried to install without success. Tried several times, with a variety of error codes, for which the recommendations didn't work.

    Now, a new attempt for the 10th consecutive day, Live Essentials beta installer stops and says:

    "Install Windows Platform Update;

    My Windows updater does not offer such update and couldn't find where and how I could locate and install this update pre-required, before which it seems impossible to install Windows Live Essentials Beta (in fact to reinstall any version of MSN Messenger or Windows Live Essentials). My Windows Update is in automatic mode and constantly keeps downloading all important updates practically at the time of the question.

    Must be very very thankful to your recommendations of the kind!
