How to make a backup of Windows Live mail

I need to reformat my pc to Win 7 64 bit. I need to backup my emails in Windows Live Mail. I can't use the automatic backup program because I have too many emails and I never got to work. (Quick save)?  I need the location of the directory of email and instructions on how to transfer them to an external support. Then, I need instructions on how to re-import them in own WLM program after reformatting. Thanks in advance.

Go to the folder where all "libraries" are and make sure you are showing all records - there should be the my documents, Favorites, etc., but it must be marked "appdata".  From there, go to "local", "Microsoft", "Windows Live Mail" and there are all the accounts and records of storage of Windows live mail - you can drag and drop them to a flash drive, DVD, CD, or other external media you have.

No 'extra' required backup program!  It's almost the same as the old path of Outlook Express, you have just to make sure that the "AppData" folder is visible, but it should be easy to display.

  • How to export my contacts from Windows Live Mail on XP

    I searched for this answer for the last 2 hours.  All the answers are for Vista & Windows 7.   How to export my Windows Live Mail addresses so that I can use in Thunderbird?  I'm moving to Thunderbird because quick view is off & on display unread messages.  They watch for a few days, then stop broadcasting.  Then repeat for a few days, then stop again.  This is happening for more than a month because there was an update of the first part of the last month.

    How to export my contacts from Windows Live Mail.

    Open the contacts window by clicking the address book at the foot of the folders pane. On the file menu, click export , and then select comma separated (CSV) values. If you don't see the menu bar, press ALT.

    Note that the last statement on the help page (Export contacts) is wrong: by dragging the window contacts contacts on the desktop doesn't create any kind of file. In version 12 and 15, this produces a vCard (.vcf) file for each contact, but not in the version 14 (WLMail) 2009.

    Windows Live Mail has its own support at the Windows Live Solution Centerforums. Please address any other question you may have on one of the forums on the right side of this page. You are probably asked to give your version of WLMail and Windows so that the answer may be more accurate. In WLMail to find your version of the software, a press on ALT - H. If it doesn't show you the version and the build number, press on escape to two times, and then Alt - F B.

  • How can I block senders in WIndows Live Mail

    I want to block certain senders to my Windows Live Mail account. I'm used to be able to do it on Outlook Express. When I try to do it on Windows Live mail, I change the message rules to block messages and they always appear on my emails. When I go to check the rules of message, it says at the bottom that is not available on Windows Live mail.

    Thank you

    -New notebook models are supplied without recovery Toshiba DVD

    -You can start "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator", using the shortcut placed on the desktop (factory State)

    So to help you please let us know what model of laptop do, you must, folder HDDRecovery is on second partition available and still using the factory settings?

  • How to find which version of Windows Live Mail I have?

    The death of my last computer, my beloved Outlook Express died with him.  I was shocked to know that I had to have Windows Live Mail and he did not support by e-mail.  I'm still scratching my head trying to understand why they would take it away from us when WLM is supposed to be better than OE but can't get a response from Microsoft on this one here.  Best buy got Thunderbird a stationery, but I couldn't use it with Windows 7.  So for two years, I didn't have a paper mill.  I recently discovered that I have Thunderbird on Windows 7, I installed it and have all the stationery that I could wish.  However, for ease of use and the folder options I prefer WLM.  Now, someone just told me that WLM 9 supports HTML for stationery.  By that, I mean like in Thunderbird, I can pull up a 'file', (an image or picture) to My Documents or my pictures in a new e-mail message and use it as stationery and can I download WLM 9 and remove WLM 11.


    Firstly, I bought my computer in 2012 so I guess I have WLM 11, but I can't find out how to know which version I.  Does anyone know how to find out who?

    In addition, WLM 11 doesn't have a lot of stuff that's not WLM 9?  I would make a big mistake by changing from 11 to 9?  How can ensure me that all my information is changed in the course of 9?

    Any advice would be appreciated.  I really, really enjoy my stationery in Thunderbird, but it save me a step if I could do it in WLM instead to run two programs of stationery.

    Thank you.

    Certainly, you do not have Windows Live Mail. It is quite
    as an option.

    and he has not supported by email.

    He certainly fact e-mail support.

    You have the choice of many e-mail programs, some by Microsoft and some
    by others, some free and others for sale. As far as I am
    concerned, Windows Live Mail is not a very good choice and there is
    many of the better ones. I recommend that you try several and choose the
    the one that you prefer.

  • How do you define separate in Windows Live Mail accounts as you would in Outlook Express?

    I used Outlook Express for years.  Now that I have Windows 7, Outlook Express is not an option.  That's ok.  However, I have problems of establishing separate accounts in Windows Live Mail as I did in Outlook Express.

    I created three accounts in Outlook Express.  When you open Outlook Express, we saw all three names in the window.  Would you click on a name, a password, and then you connect.

    I want to do the same thing in Windows Live Mail.  I tried everything I know.  Someone suggested to go to the accounts and make new ones.  I did, but who made new account to go on Windows 7.  I don't want to do that.

    If anyone knows how to help, please contact me with directions.

    Thank you.

  • How I change my ID of Windows live mail. Unable to send Email with Yahoo ID present

    For the last few months I spend hours ranging from help in support of sites etc sites, try to change my Windows live mail 2011 ID so I could e-mail. Somehow be an absolute genius, I entered an ID Yahoo active as my windows live mail ID. Whenever I'm on a MSN site (and sometimes others) when accessing "share or email" it automatically opens a Windows live mail sending form. It still shows my address like this Yahoo address and I get a failure. For any consultation of everyone else, it is the actuall message:

    The connection to the server has failed.

    Topic "

    Server: "smtp.mail.yahoo.com".

    Windows Live Mail error ID: 0x800CCC0E

    Protocol: SMTP

    Port: 25

    Secure (SSL): No.

    Socket error: 10013

    This message was received honestly more than 70 times. When I want to "spend" a few hours, days (and nights), I'll start again in this adventure with absolutely no positive results.

    Please please help! How can I change my ID to the one I use, for example, for HOTMAIL?   Thanking you in advance

    Try this:

    Click the Start button, select Control Panel and click Add/REMOVE. On the page Add/Remove to find the windows live essentials and click on modify it / remove button. This will display a page that offers the possibility to uninstall or repair. Check the button fix and on the next page, select this option to repair windows live mail. I hope this helps.

    I did it in Outlook Express with the deleted mail.
    Unfortunately, in Windows Live Mail it deleted all the mail.

    That's why WLMail requires you to reject a warning message before deleting an account:

    There is a folder named backup under
    C:\Documents and Settings\

    What is in the present, and I can use it to restore the emails that I deleted when I deleted an account.

    The backup folder contains a copy of the message database, which is only an indication of your messages. It does not contain the messages themselves.

    You may be able to recover a portion of your messages (.eml files) by using a utility like Recuvaundelete. The sooner you act, the most successful, it is likely to be.

  • How to send creative emails from Windows live mail to windows 98 2000 XP have received written and created.

    I create an artistic email in windows live mail and is not received, as I wrote with backgrounds and colors or sometimes even the script, by older versions of windows, IE:-2000 - XP, it happens always modified capacity versions to which it is sent, how is it overcome? Should it be sent in another format as an attachment, a message in a message, so that put and how do you do that?

    Sincerely Graham J mobbs

    Windows Live Mail does not allow scripts and other aspects of dynamic HTML.  If you have a message from OE or Windows Mail (Vista) that has these capabilities so you can send this message as a file as an attachment in a message eml and which will then open in OE or WinMail on the recipient machine.  Or you can rename it to eml to mht and who will then open in Internet Explorer on the recipient end.  But impossible to use WLM to compose such a message, as these features were eliminated in it.
     
    There are other options to overcome these limitations in Windows Live Mail, so that users can continue to be creative in their e-mail.  Seewww.oehelp.com/OEnWin7.aspx for some of them.
