  • Windows Live Mail 2011 - how to create a Signature that contains a hyperlink to the address of my website?

    In Windows Live Mail 2011, I am trying to create a Signature that contains a hyperlink to my website address.

    I click on Options - Mail - Signatures - new.

    If I choose 'text' - there is no way to add a hyperlink.

    If I choose "files, browse" do I look for? I'm supposed to be creating an HTML document to the address of the site? and if yes, how do I do that?

  • How to get Windows Live Mail 2011 to remove emails from my hotmail server account once they have been synchronized with the WML client. ?

    How to fix WLM 2011 to remove emails from my hotmail server account once they have been synchronized with the WML client. ? I've seen several references in forums to an option that is located on the Advanced tab in the menu Options/Email accounts/properties, but I don't have an option in the Advanced tab in this menu. Is there another way to do it. ? I tried to do this manually, but when I manually delete a message in my Hotmail account it also deletes the message on the client when it synchronizes. I would like to have my messages stored on my customer only and not on the server. Is there a way to do this. ?

  • Lost mail in Windows Live mail 2011

    I have several problems with Windows Live mail 2011.

    I have archived emails in a folder - under "storage folders".

    In the preview, there are 3 emails - all looking for good - but when I see the content-

    as the former email of 2007 - which has nothing to do with these 3 are on display. It is actually the same with all 3 emails

    and I have files from folder with the same problem. So now I can't see the content. BIG problem.

    After check-in - I tested the email - and there is no problem - but all night - the problem came...

    So, I get "this is a problem when you attempt to open this message -" so I should just click on another folder

    and most of the time - when coming back to my original email - he then can open. Not very secure.

    When you use the arrow - to open the subfolder - often display the records-pop up - what causes that

    I then have to scroll again - looking for these same subfolders. Not very easy to use, as I would request for a stay in the place.

    I just hope that you can save my emails - a less...

    Thank you :-)

  • replacement computers. How can I keep all of my old emails. old computer windows live mail 2011 new computer windows live mail 2012

    replacement computers. How can I keep all of my old emails. I have hundreds of emails in the sent folder and hundreds in my folder of emails saved on my old computer (windows live mail 2011) but when I open windows live mail 2012 on my new computer all the folders are empty. I signed the same account on both computers.

    old computer windows live mail 2011 new computer windows live mail 2012 it is the problem

    Brian

    It is relatively simple as you use and that you want to use WLM.

    You will need to copy a folder from where it is (the old installation) to another place where you know it will be (for example on your desktop)

    The folder is c:\users\your user name\app data (if it is not there, see the note below) \local\microsoft\

    At that point you will see a folder named oddly enough "windows live mail" copy on your desktop

    If you don't see the app data because it is invisible atm.  To make it visible, you need to go to your control panel > folder options > view > change to hidden folders (see figure)

    Once you have mail backed up on your desktop (or where ever) drag the folder from the desktop to the location for the new WLM (once again we C;-... just like above).  Just make sure that WLM does not run in time.  What wont be imported, it of passwords and rules.

    Accounts and data should now be in the new WLM when you open it.

    Someone knows what is the problem and how to solve

    PS I got another printer 15xx model of HP before and it worked. I had to replace the printer as he died... and another does not. Thank you.

    Max

    Just to understand it

    I had to change smapi.dll

    Current version on the computer: 15.4.3538.513

    I searched the Internet and found an another smapi.dll versioned 14.0.8117.416

    Replaced original smapi.dll in C:\Program Files (x 86) \Windows Live\Mail\ and everything started working. not sure if this is a bug in the most recent version of the dll, but it works with the older ones.

    Hope that will help someone.

  • Problem with Windows Live Mail 2011 to scan

    When I use either my printer to scan a document, cartoon, etc. to send e-mail (Windows Live Mail 2011), the scan works fine, but when I try to attach the message to send to a recipient, the scanned image was cropped (up to the size of a photo?) and space of the image is now asking for 'enter the name of the album', 'slide show', etc. - which suggests that it is an activity of picture which is not.  All I want to do is scan a document for emailing, a process that worked flawlessly w. Windows Live Mail 2010.  How can I overcome this problem?
