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!

    Hi Mick,

    Thank you very much!!! I've been dealing with this issue since July and have endured countless hours of frustration dealing with staff of Technical Support of my ISP with no satisfaction. After all, I've tried, it's amazing to see how your solution worked.

    I went to my Rogers/Yahoo mail server, archived all 1624 read e-mails in my Inbox and benefit services normal e-mail yesterday.

    With your permission, I would like to send your e-mail to my ISP solution, so other customers with the same question, put around by insufficient support of the Tech.

    Thank you once again,

    Fred

    Hi Fred,.

  • How to make Windows Live Mail Notifier of new messages permanently & stay in the tray on close program

    Windows Live Mail may seem a new mail alert, but only once. It can also be in the notification area / bar tasks, but do not continue to inform. I would like continuous notification because when I'm not away and come back, I don't know unless I manually open the program that I have received the mail.

    I would also keep it in the notification area, even if I close the program.

    If you want to do something like that then you need either a third-party utility or a different email client like Thunderbird where you can change the notification.

  • How to delete Windows Live Mail fonts

    I have so many fonts in Windows Live Mail that I have need; they all look alike.  How can I safely delete them?

    The last point, they have disabled what was used to be used in OE for stationery and have only basic stuff that are pretty ugly.  There is no version of OE can be installed in Win7 or 8.  I suspect what said you, was that you could buy Outlook, but has neither stationery.  The only way to use OE in Win 7 is via a virtual machine (see www.oehelp.com/OEnWin7.aspx).

    For fonts, you can copy the contents of C:\windows\fonts to save the fonts.  Then you can take a stab and delete those you don't need.  If you accidentally delete one you wanted, then you can go to the copy and then right-click on the police and choose Install to reinstall.  So just save them first and you can play with what you have without worry.

    Remember however, that unless the recipient of your e-mail message has the font installed on their computer, the fonts you choose will not be what they see.

    see you soon,

    Steve
